You put such a lot into Paris Parfait -- incredible images, thoughtful commentary... you give us lots to think about! And it's just so much fun -- when I check in, I never know what I'll find, but I'm never disappointed. Three cheers!

Miss Tara, Cake Girl loves you so much. She sent me a letter through the winds last night. It was in a magical glass bottle. She said she loves sitting by you, watching your beautiful self, typing away.. Sipping a warm drink... She loves Paris, she loves the sounds trickling in through the windows... She loves when you chat about what is happening on the streets of Paris... Thank you for giving her the most wonderful home any girl could ever dream of!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Your blog has given me lots of pleasure and intellectual stimulation, for which I thank you. And it led me to meeting you, too, which is the best gift of all.
Xoxo,

Congratulation Tara!! Two and Terrific. I enjoy you and your Paris Parfait very much, I do! And yes please, I would like to indulge in a piece of that delicious looking pink cake made by Vanessa's lovely dolly. Since I just had a glass of champagne in Pam A's Gypsy Van, this will be my second this morning. Guess it's going to be one of those days of "CELEBRATION".
So happy to have met you.
You're the Best!

Yes, a red letter day.
It actually made me realize that next month will be one year for me. I'm not nearly as prolific as most, in fact I am going to struggle , I think, to reach the 100th post mark. I do think though, that this is not about numbers but connection.It has been a wonderful year and am glad to have met you, Tara.
I'm loving following your thoughts on the presidential race. BTW.
