……………………….The date was the 4th of Nov.2011, exactly 10 years ago today!….Jac and I were invited to Jac’s best friend’s daughter’s wedding in Washington D.C. Jac and I thought we would make a weekend of it and spend some time touring the city. I don’t remember exactly how it it all came about, but I mentioned in a post that Jac and I would be in DC for a wedding. Barbara Firehock standing beside me, the lady with the incredible silver hair, asked if she could set up a dinner with a few Linea ladies. We did have a free night so Jac and I said yes we would love to. Barbara arranged the whole thing. We were staying at the Four Seasons Hotel [if I remember correctly], and the French restaurant, La Chaumiere, was almost directly across the street……..We had a wonderful time telling stories, the food was terrific and it was great to meet “the Ladies”. Barbara’s husband Ray joined us as their male “escort” though it was reported that Ray did say “Escorts” usually get paid….LOL…..Ray took the picture. I wish I had one with Ray in it! He’s a super interesting guy who had a brilliant career in the government………The group from left to right….Penny. Jac. Me, Barbara, Susan, Celia and Charrie a friend of Susan’s……all interesting accomplished women. Charrie was nice enough to bring each of the ladies a Greek cooking book. Naturally, Charrie is Greek. It was a wonderful night, and it was so nice to meet these fabulous women….women you would want to be friends with. I will always be grateful to Barbara for arranging this memorable evening. I won’t be speaking out of turn, because Barbara did tell me that Ray fell in love with Jac that evening……..and I fell in love with Barbara and all of the ladies. I’m happy to say that we are all still in touch though this blog and face book……..Friends forever.
Louis, I never post anything but I look at absolutely everything you send out! I have loved everything you do from making dressing everyday fun, to watching your home productions, to watching all about your life. You are so kind to let us be a part of you and we all love it and never want it to end. What a surprise to see you relive one of my favorite lifetime memories! Susan and I talk about this night over and over and I agree I didn’t want it to end…a little secret… Susan and I have to tell each other what we’re going to wear before each time we go out together because it’s more likely than not, we’ll show up in the same Linea outfit! We so appreciate all your talents making us look great!

A night to remember! I did not want it to end! I was absolutely thrilled to meet the other Linea ladies, you and Jac and Ray. Meeting virtual friends in person is just the best! I remember taking great care in selecting my outfit and the terrific fun of getting ready for a highly anticipated evening. So many great stories were told!!! I am forever grateful that you took the time to spend with us. ❤️
What a lovely group of people. Jac is stunningly beautiful in every photograph! Memories of those good times of being out and about and getting together with friends and loved ones have been treasures during this pandemic.
