If you didn't you misssed some good parties. You also hosted some good ones in Westfield!<br />Thom is just an internet pen-name. When I signed up for Facebook last year, I wasn't sure what would happen, so I figured if I spelled my name as Thom, I could at least trace back any spam or such if it came addressed to Thom.

I hope your trip back home is better than you expect. <br /><br />*I love that your mom had painted the inside of her bookcases, which seems so on tread these days. She obviously took a lot of risks in her decorating and that's what makes her home so interesting and beautiful.Amy of While Wearing Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315150838881036995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375159147983877981.post-52589822708819683472012-07-15T11:24:18.000-05:002012-07-15T11:24:18.000-05:00Nicely done Sis.
