The book and box

arrived in Alexandria before I did
and were ultimately imprisoned with us
in the Blizzard of December 09




We saw snow, ice and thermal underwear
but were warmed by AnnE's art

Ultimately ... we tied it all up

and stuffed the carton with so much love for Roger and all
that Fedex couldn't get up the hill to deliver it





Jan penned her thoughts





&rew captured her name and her spirit





At the CELEBRATION, Maura examined the book





and Jerry's very special Doodles recipe





On February 19th, I read Elissa's words again
looked around at the family we've grown
and knew exactly what they meant

I do BELIEVE
Mostly I believe AnnE is looking over my shoulder
telling me to quit being so maudlin

AnnE's personal Tassel-o-gram





With Maura's cat and a pigtail down her back

























Jenni and Ryan's Wedding was the day of 999 roses
and AnnE cut and dethorned each one





AnnE and her sister Gail







Barbi, Marura, AnnE and Tiggy




AnnE, Roger, Jenni, Ryan and Max





Queen AnnE resteth upon long time friends Debrah, Nancy and Robin










Shhh!  Don't tell anyone!
In early September, I let balloons loose
The final pink one was for AnnE
and she said it got to Blacksburg
