Thankfulness Part II

I came away from this past weekend overwhelmed. Overwhelmed in a good way. I was physically and conversationally drained. Full from tasty Manhattan treats and full from thankfulness. 

2 of my dear friends came to visit last weekend. There is much to tell. In hopes of not boring you to tears, I will give a run through, similar to my last Thankfulness post.
