As more chairs brought for newcomers, Dawn introduced each person by name (and blog in some instances) to the new arrival.

I'd never met a musketeer in real life, so it was a special honor. :) I didn't have any of the cookies, but perhaps we celebrated in the way Chesterton--as a writer and a believer--would have most wanted...talking about words and God.Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331216449835185989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37222179.post-16374412603162190202007-05-31T12:29:00.000-04:002007-05-31T12:29:00.000-04:00Nice cake, Mike!I nearly threw up after eating two...Nice cake, Mike!<BR/>I nearly threw up after eating two of those cookies on the way home.
