What do you do when your best friend has an extremely important birthday 3,500 miles away from you?
Why, you throw her a party, of course!
Here are some of our lovely local mothers, on hand for our Annual Tea and Rosary (held in the recently thatched cottage). Many of these dear women have never even met Lissa (who left New York in January 2002), but they love her just the same!
Happy Birthday, dear Lissa! We love you!!! It is never too late to move back to New York. I am sure you are missing the snow down there in San Diego.
[By the way, this post was planned for late Wednesday night, but my internet connection promptly went out. Thank goodness the repairman was able to get me back online today.]
How sweet is that? Happy Birthday, Lissa!!

And here I was away from the computer all day!! All week, practically! Too, too, too funny and awesome. You are truly the best, my dear. I only wish I'd been there to revel in all that in person!
Love you immensely!!

I am so sorry I couldn't make it to the tea ! It looks like a wonderful night. Unfortunately, that was the only night we had everyone home to decorate our tree.
Merry Christmas to you Alice and your beautiful family!

Happiest of birthdays to Lissa -- you are indeed very blessed to have a friend like Alice!
Alice -- you are an amazing woman! Someday I too may be like you....

I hope Lissa had a beautiful birthday. I was so bereft that I couldn't make it to the tea... thank you for sharing some of the warmth and beauty here! Everything you do goes right into my heart, Alice.
