Abby was well enough to attend the annual Salvation Army Silver Tea with me Friday. The fund raiser was hosted this year by our long-time friends Kassie and Somerlyn Cothran, who have a new baby named Kaydence. Years ago Somerlyn worked at my newspaper, and we have been friends ever since.

It’s always a pleasure to have Abby with me when I am shooting these events, both because we enjoy being with each other, but also so we can sort of show each other off. She and I went from room to room, meeting people we hadn’t seen in years.

Afterwards, we went home together and took a nap.
