The Best Friends in the World

I couldn't ask for better friends in the whole, wide world!

Last night at the home of Paul and Margie Grossman, some of the friends who made it possible for me to ride on the Kiwanis International Float in the Rose Parade gathered for a dinner and debriefing with me about my experiences. It was so sweet of them to have this post-parade celebration!

That's Claire and Bill Bogaard in the top photo.

Below are Dale Downs, Nancy Esbenshade and Judy Kent.

Thank you so much, everybody!

    Ditto what Petrea said.

    The Mayor's going to miss you when you retire.

    @BellIs: the mayor already missed her when she went on sick leave. During that time I never saw him so active and out in the community!
