I had a lot of fun at the Phillips home. Much food, teasing, singing, yelling and laughing. Tavie's mom is a fabulous cook (Tanta Joan, too!) and Tavie's dad was funny and charming, Kirsten was her usual adorable self and their family friend Andrew is a darling. One of my favorite moments was when Mom and Dad left for Vienna (yes?) and as we were singing them out the door Tavie mom yells, "FRED! Do you have your scarf in your pocket??" I know it is one of those moments where you had to be there, but, her voice was such a perfect mix of love and exasperation that it just amused me to no end.
