IDK how many there really were, but a lot, plus bottles of wine that generous Sis ordered and had shipped here. (She arrived with friendly Buttercup doggy and three homemade vegan desserts.)
Figgy’s friends and lab colleagues celebrated her moving to Florida for her master’s. We worked hard to set things up in our backyard. Dan grew grass from seed on a big bald patch; he rented tables and pink umbrellas; and ran all over creation to fix things. Friends like Charlotte (since kindergarten); Maggie (sleepaway camp); Zoey (age 14); Austin, Nick, Caroline (high school); and Gaby and Clara (college). Figgy looked beautiful in an ice-blue dress.
That was yesterday and today, Dan and I drove to Brooklyn for beloved Kim’s bday.
Tired. Good night.

Parties! But bittersweet, watching your girl set off into the world to seek her fortune. Good to have such long-time friends.
