What I look like all cleaned up

Taken earlier today after a very sad memorial service for Robbie, the younger brother of my friend, Frederick. Anne (on my right & Frederick on my left), Frederick, Robbie and I grew up together. We celebrated Robbie's life and mourned him, too. At the end, Anne gave her iPhone to Frederick's niece's husband and he snapped this shot. It is always wonderful to see old friends, especially those who don't live here anymore (Frederick in D.C.; Anne an hour and a half away), but such a shame that we don't get together for a happy event, or just to catch up. We spent two hours chatting, eating homemade pimento cheese sandwiches left over from the reception all washed down with diet Coke. (Sadly, there were no cheese straws left to bring home. That is expected.)

Since you normally see me in a helmet and riding clothes with my hair pulled back, I thought I'd show you what I look like cleaned up.

Wow! Who knew?

Katherine: Yes, who knew?? Although you've seen me with my hair down and in a dress before, in fact fairly recently, so I hope this picture wasn't such a shock to you. But yeah, Anne, Frederick and I do clean up pretty darn well.
