So…why did I go to Toronto??? I’ve been asked this question a few times. Well, this family is the reason. This is my friend, Dee…she and I met back in musical theatre and bonded over juicy gossip about boys and the ‘ingenues’. We used to sit in our cars, chatting for hours after rehearsal…waaayyyy back when we were teenagers. We have seen lots in our days together. In the early days of my relationship with Bob, she began a relationship with her perfect match as well…THEN HE MOVED HER ACROSS THE FRICKIN’ COUNTRY. I’m not mad at him or anything…she is happy there. And, they’re still crazy in love which makes me tingle with glee, but I miss her. This Christmas when I saw her as we often do–for an all too rushed visit, we decided I would come to Toronto. We needed days together. To feel connected again. AND you know what? It was such a fabulous idea. Only, now, I really miss her…more. I wish she lived closer.
Here is a sample of the joy that she has created for herself. It is part of a larger, slideshow project that I’m hoping to share one day…when I finally finish it. For now…a sample of images. And to my dear friends…we must do this again soon. Sooner.
