Blocks of conversation at BUILT
Saturday night was the Historic Albany Foundation's annual art auction/fundraiser hosted at the stunningly beautiful (and really well-lit, Nick) Cathedral of All Saints. This was my 3rd time to attend this event and it just keeps getting better!

As the weekend progressed, I mentally inventoried each special little thing that cumulatively gave me one of my favorite birthday celebrations ever. Noting 46 of these items was … Continue reading Birthday Weekend Memories!
