raising our glasses
Sunday, May 3, 2009 at 9:04PM 
This weekend an intimate dinner of joy and hope brought a dear friend across the country to visit. She brought with her the company of amazing women. It was a delight to have the chance to spend time with each of them.
The normal miles between us have made it impossible for us to yet celebrate the Picture Hope win until this weekend. We stole away one evening and honored the work we've done, the accomplishment we achieved and and the most important part; our friendship. We ordered fancy drinks in tall glasses for our daughters and a few Stellas for ourselves enjoying a good meal and good company.
What are you honoring in your life? My guess is you turned your lens toward something special this weekend so let's see your Best Shot.

congratulations to our ambassadors of hopes and dreams

Never doubt that the work of a small group
of thoughtful, committed citizens can change
the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has!

I found you through Melody (Slurping Life), thought I'd join in this week: Ladybug
Reconnecting with a friend across the miles is such a treat. Glad you got to share some time together!
We spent so much time outside last week, I had to pick one of those for my best shot!
That celebration must have been filled with joy and relaized HOPE!
We are celebrating too - our anniversary!
How wonderful that you got to celebrate together!!
Some success popped up here too.....
ah, Stella, my beverage of choice! Much to celebrate with this next step. Adored the flickr photoset, especially those that captured the younger generation of 'sisters.'
Today I'm honoring the ordinary moments.

I spent an afternoon with my old college friend Amy last week, and her sweet little girl. I haven't seen her in 15 years, and it was wonderful to be with her again. Her little girl was just beaming with joy and I hope I captured it!

I am so impressed and happy for you. Glad you got to connect and celebrate! Woo Hoo!
Here is my best shot...not in quality, necessarily, but it is the one I have been waiting for.
The day merited a margarita, but I never got around to drinking one. Oh, well. Here is my BSM from the Cinco de Mayo festival in San Diego's Old Town this weekend.

What a warm and well-deserved celebration. We went outside and waded around looking for the beauty of a really soggy weekend.
I love those photos! We went away for the weekend...it was so nice! Here's my best shot.
Great shot, Tracey! It is always so nice to catch up with friends from afar! Here's a link to my BSM
