Lots of time earlier in the day recovering from the packing, moving, driving, then a fun party Friday night. My mother invited 30 or so family members and long-time family friends for dinner. Even my high school principal. We enjoyed spending time with everyone, particularly those we hadn't seen for a long time. Lots of good food, wine, storytelling and laughs. At the end of the evening, 8 of sat around and finished off two boxes of Ruth Hunt Candy, passing the box around the circle, taking a piece each time it passed. For some reason, we only took one photo the entire evening. It's of Lisa and Hunt's cousin, Emily Tighlman Peck ("Cousin Tillie"), whose mother started the above mentioned candy business.

Hello, travelers!
Have a wonderful trip. Seattle is waiting for you. Courtney & Chuck
I just had these candies for the first time, at my first Derby party, at my sister-in-law's home in bal'more. Great to know there's a family connection now!
In my family's tradition, we light candles for people as they are embarking upon something challenging. I will have one burning for ya'll, for travel mercies.
Namaste.
We are so excited about your coming to be with us.
yes, we would love to host a tea, coffee, lunch,dinner, you name it, in our home.
Neil and Nancy McReynolds
Fair winds and following seas for your trip out - we are excited to welcome you all to Emmanuel and the Pacific Northwest.
Peace,
Jean, Mark, Emily and Audrey Greaves
P.S. Bumbershoot is an obscure term for an umbrella...
