This is me as I emerge from the elevator into the dead end lounge, where
about 20 people have gathered. This is MUCH larger than the usual tea
time crowd, but as you can perhaps see from this picture, I still don't
really have a clue what is going on...
Ah ha! The cake kindof clued me in. And a delicious cake it was, too,
being chocolate and all of that. He is me doing the honors, with Karen and
Meredith in the background, enjoying their pieces.
A closeup of the cake. This does not do justice to its chocolate richness,
but it DOES give an idea of the beautiful orange flowers...
Here is some of the usual tea time crowd and me, laughing at some
random comment, undoubtedly related to my a) surprise or b) engagement
Jim, Gail, Jesse and Margo. Smiling.
