April 3 is the one-year passing away anniversary of our dear friend Michelle Dimond. We commemorated the day with a Dimond / Daynes / Furner gathering at Becky's. Delish meal and wonderful togetherness. Becky is the BEST! I call her Prom Queen b/c everyone knows and loves her and she has this very unique way of taking care of EVERYONE (I realize prom queens don't really do that but since I never went to an American high school I'll use that term this way).
Here is Ella and I with Becky, Cassidy and Michelle's BFF Natalie who has been with the family all year to help out. Cassidy is an AMAZING young woman, so full of strength, love, and thoughtfulness towards everyone but esp. her siblings. She is number two in the fam just like me....
Our friends the Wachtels had a groovy night at a club in Clarke Quay. Michael W.'s mid-life crisis is starting a band so we went to watch them perform 70s and 80s rock music. It was A BLAST!! It kind of felt like high-school except everyone is MUCH older....here we are with the Daynes, Moores and cool Sarah Lau (interesting note is that she used to date a Hiatt brother!).
We love it when we get to hang out with the Tuminez Tolk family. The kids have a blast hanging out with Whitman (Ethan's age) while we adults get in some great conversations w/ the gals. We had a Raclette Night and I love how Jeffrey and Astrid love Europe and good food as much as we do!
I remember how very sad/devastating it was when your friend Michelle passed away. What a beautiful tribute to her one year later to gather as friends and reminisce. The closing photo of Astrid was great...never did hear about the wedding in India, but it would have been spectacular...and today, there is the BIG BRITISH MONARCHY wedding....lah de dah.
