Barbara's Last Supper... sorta

A group of nine of us gathered at Maura and Jackie's place up in North Hills yesterday evening. We took Barb out to dinner. She's leaving soon for Virginia.

Here are Cathy, Robin, Jackie and Barb leaving Claim Jumper. We had a real nice meal. I took some great pictures of us all enjoying our meals, but was threatened with death if I published them. I'm not sure why lovely, intelligent women don't want their pictures taken, but, fearing for my life, I will restrain myself.

After dinner we headed off to the mall next door for some book shopping.


We are all book-aholics.

It was hard to tear us away again. But we eventually ended up back at the Crew's North Hills HQ.

One of the biggest attractions of the evening was Jackie's new dog - a sweet little shepherd mix puppy named Holly Berry. Holly had a delightful little doggie personality, was happy to interact with all the ladies who were gathered in the living room, and was a great source of amusement to everyone.

Maura and Jackie's cats are... adjusting... to the little interloper, who seems very happy to have a good home. And loves her new kitty siblings, despite their nonchalant attitudes towards her.

Maura and Jackie had a lovely refreshment table set up in their beautiful home, and had a delicious cake for dessert after we got back from the restaurant.

We are really going to miss Barbara. But I suppose now we will have an excuse to visit the lovely state of Virginia...






Here is Cathy playing with little Holly.


My guess is that Holly will not remain "little" very long!













She's a little cutie pie. Holly, not Cathy. Well, actually, Cathy can be a cutie pie under the right circumstances. But I was discussing the puppy. Now I want a puppy. A little sweet cuddly, squirmy worm puppy.

Okay, let me clarify that. I want a puppy without the piddling on the rug and the chewing of everything in site.

Yup. I think that's called a C-A-T.

No offense meant, little Holly.
