When it was time for everybody to leave, we ladies stood with our coats on; Gary donned his boots and coat and we waited near the door, and waited, and waited while Sean and Syd carried on their conversation in the kitchen -nearer the cookies (o;

Here's a beautiful mother and daughter shot! Liz and Barb
