LOL, I know what you mean, @katrina-ariel, I normally all but live with a camera in my hand, and I managed to not get a single shot! Damn!

Better planning next time. And hugs right back atcha! ;-)

And @enginewitty, I didn't realize you were leaving when you did, or you would have had a bottle of the hickory syrup liqueur to take home with you, as I'd intended. Katrina said that Cork was going to the bank and back, and somehow I got the idea that you were going with him.

So there's a bottle of liqueur with your name on it when next we meet. Good thing you don't live far! And you're absolutely right - it really is reminiscent of a brandy. And I'm so glad that your princesses like the glockenspiel. I figured they were about the perfect ages for it. ;-)

I am SOOOO glad I came! Everyone I met was awesome, and like you, I haven't been that comfortable in a group of people, particularly a group where technically it was the first time I'd met anyone, in a long, long time. Thanks so much for bring all of these amazing people together in one fabulous place.
