So, I was REALLY looking forward to this year's show.
Now Cathy has called and life interfered and she cannot attend.

I am so bummed.
DH said I should still go, and he even offered company bless his
heart, but it just isn't the same without my friend oohing and aahing
over the exhibits and sharing the chocolate fudge.

Sigh....

In the big scheme of things, it is not even a ripple. But I thought I
would throw my feelings into cyberspace to share. If any folks could
understand my frustrations it would be all of you.

Maybe you could go, take lots of pictures, buy some chocolate fudge and plan
a nice visit with Cathy when life gets back to normal for her. Oohing and
ahhing over pics won't be quite the same but it may be a good way to stay
connected.
