Happy Birthday, xanti_angelx!!!

Almost forgot!

To this day it still bothers me that you're a little over a decade younger than me, and yet we get along so wonderfully. Weird, that. :p

Emm and I are currently on vacation down in Carmel (and having a great time), and with me being on the road for what seemed like two days straight (whinewhine :p ), I forgot to send you birthday greetings!! O_O... Please, don't beat me up!! :p

Emm sez Happy Birthday too! :) Both of us wish you well, and hope that the next phase in your life ROCKS.

From the dining hall in Hearst Castle, in front of the very large fireplace:


Most people's reaction: Oh, how cute/whimsical/funny/interesting/etc.

My reaction: Oh, I should use these two characters in a story somewhere.

Ever the writing geek, I am.

I didn't take too many pictures, as most of the inside shots came out a bit dark and blurry, but I'll try to post a few this weekend when I get back and have the time to sit down and post them all. :)
