How do I end this post?

Brenda surprised us with a drawing of one of our latest "adventures".  Care to guess? 

Here's a hint:  The rectangle is a door and the person is mi amore...

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Now everyone say "hello" to my friend Darcy. 

Hey Darcy, do you remember this picture???

To commemorate my recent 32nd birthday Darcy and I toured this lovely, historic home in downtown Salem.   We gushed over the rich woodwork, swooned over the painted-glass windows, and gawked at the tiny dresses on display.
She found a couch she wanted to take home and I found a few light fixtures that may (or may not) have fit under my jacket...

 It was enchanting!

...as were the cupcakes she made for me-

carrots?  -STARBURSTS!!

I dedicate the last cupcake to John Travolta since he was the topic of our very first conversation, that warm day at Ricks College. 

^*^*^*^*^*^*^

I'm almost embarrassed to admit that my birthday celebration continued further...

teehee.

Say "hello" to Sheri, Monica, Solana, Sara, Anna, and me! 

We seem a little confused.  Which picture now?  Funny or serious??

Anna and I almost share our days of birth which always justifies an out-of-the-ordinary girls' night.  We had many-a-funny glances thrown our way as we scrambled through Goodwill with the challenge to dress another person for $5.  (Thanks to me, Sheri is looking kinda "come-hither" in her leopard print...)  Then it was off to dinner and Red Robin (yummm) for some indulgent delights. 
 

How DO I end this post??

not sure.  But I better be a good girl so karma keeps such good friends in my life...

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

P.S.  Do you need another hint about Brenda's drawing?
