Friends are central to the enjoyment of life. We are blessed to have a number of very good friends, some of whom are pictured here. These photos are a sampling of those taken during a variety of events and get-togethers.
A New Year’s Eve dinner party at Becca’s Restaurant made New Year's Eve a special occasion for me. I really enjoyed our evening together - it was a great goodbye to 2009 and a wonderful welcome to 2010. What is better than to have good friends with time well spent? We all laughed boisterously with our opportunity to celebrate… friendship more than event, I think. I am full of optimism and hope for the coming year and decade, and I especially look forward to sharing our time together. The venue was a good choice, so thank you to Pete for setting that up.
A special congratulations to Jerry for achieving his goal of earning his MBA. It was a long and difficult journey made with many sacrifices, but one that I hope he looks back on with fondness.
Note: These New Year’s photos are a little dim and not shart, having been taken on a BlackBerry in a relatively dark room. Sorry for the lack of quality in the photos, but notice how much fun everyone is having.


We gathered at Pete & Dorothy's house for a festive evening featuring great friendship, sumptuous hors d'ouerves, a spectacular dinner, flowing champagne & other liquid delights, entertainment by their adorable Westy, Piper, and (again) the pleasure of each other's company. Here are some portraits:
We were fortunate to have the opportunity to have friends and family join us for Thanksgiving dinner. Below are some photos:
