Diane: so smart, so charming. A fabulous cook, she and I enjoy working in the kitchen together (not easy with my Tyrannosaurus Chef attitude.) We both love thrift stores, but I am the merest piker compared to her laser-like ability to find gold amidst the dross. Her genius at Boggle is legendary, even if it does include cheerfully making up words, which she calls "pushing the envelope" and I call "cheating." We also have a lengthy list of the best restaurants to hit. Chez Panisse, here we come.
Mostly, it's the pleasure of hanging out with someone who remembers me before I was old and cranky. Yes, it's true. Photographic proof provided below.
OMG, I love that picture! Love it!
ReplyDeleteawwww.

Great pic!
ReplyDeleteWere these the merry widow corset days?
Swoon!
ReplyDeleteThat pic is priceless! I really really value all the pics I've managed to hold onto from my youth. They become more valuable as the years fly along.
ReplyDelete...but you do old & cranky so well.
ReplyDeleteHave a swell time!
Yay I love when she visits you. We always get a detailed report of the menu items and choices then a guided tour of San Francisco’s thrift stores and your purchases. Please continue this tradition for your enraptured readers.
ReplyDeleteWhy, you've hardly aged at all! :)
ReplyDeleteI love people who remember me when I was young and adorable. What a cutie you were and are!
ReplyDeleteGood friends- worth their weight in gold. And then some.
ReplyDeleteThere are few things in life better than old freinds. :) Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteYou have Wild Hog in the photo.
ReplyDeleteA Great Zin.
You should take the trip to the winery..in the OutBack of Somona County.
