Flowers for Mum’s party. It was a great success. 100+ people on a picture-perfect evening at the tennis club. Everyone was on the porch, much white wine was killed, and great toasts entertained all. Mum was delighted, which is of course the most important thing.

Bouff mentioned that she’s seeing the new Harry Potter today. This reminded me of November 2001 when a large number of us from Princeton met up in New York to see #1 on opening day. It seems like a HUNDRED YEARS ago. See picture above. We were so young! That weekend also featured a blowout bash chez Gloria and Bill (see other picture) which descended into the traditional drinking, dancing, and general debauchery that characterized those early years (and, in fact, my current years).
So, just a little reminiscing about that weekend and the ladies I love best!

Outrageously glorious weather. Outrageously poorly behaved children. More later.
