And the farewells begin...

... but not without a party or two!

My Side by Side group (plus dear Nicole) had a little get-together at Beth's house, which served as a lovely send-off for those of us moving to new places.  Have I mentioned Beth is incredibly hospitable??  She often shares her beautiful backyard for gatherings such as these, and I love it.

In her extreme thoughfulness, McKenzie gave each of us outgoing gals this hilarious and poignant gift -- a towel reading "Uffda" and a journal she personalized for each of us.  Thank you, McKenzie!  Both with be proudly displayed at our new homes, I'm sure!

Nicole can't let any fraction of any marshmallow - no matter how measly - go to waste.  :)  Here is she working hard to salvage one between giggles.  Too funny!  Nicole, I'm SO glad you came!

The wonderful ladies of Side by Side.
