Farewell Party

Last night one of the attorneys I work with hosted a farewell party for Mike and me at her home. It was a mix of judges, attorneys, secretaries, landlords and family members. The Italian feast was spectacular, the adult beverages were flowing, the company was wonderful…and the tattoos were sticking!


Just for fun I brought some packs of temporary tattoos and I tattooed as many people as I could. The kids, Miju and Devin, had to have matching peace signs…aren’t they cute?




There were appetizers including a brie, fig and almond topped cracker, chicken lasagna, seafood stuffed shells, salads and a focaccia-style bread.


And not to be forgotten were the cookies and tiramisu for dessert!


I opened some gifts and cards and got to pose for the camera.


Betty and Ron joined in the festivities and we got to spend a final night with our landlords who are also our friends.


I goofed around with Princess even when we were trying to get a serious picture together.


And the best part was the warm and fuzzy feeling I got from having all of the important people that have been a part of my Salem life in one house at the same time. We stepped outside to take a group shot and it’s a picture that will remind me of what we will miss.


THANK YOU to everyone! I had a blast. And my smiley-face tattoo that I put on my throat is still there today...I tried washing it off, but it didn’t work. I got some funny faces while I was walking around the Capitol Mall today and all I could do was laugh...
