I to thought it was babka. But baba sounds good too!
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

which I bought mostly for the quality of being pink
Heh. I have done that very thing before, too. The very first thing I ever ordered online was a pink computer bag from ebags.com. Because pink. I enjoy it as an accent color to my mostly neutral or jewel toned world.
Volans, much kitty ~ma.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Oh, I’m so sorry we missed it! I was deep in virtual HS journalism convention from Thursday until yesterday and missed the details. Would love to host a gathering another time. ND and I both have paid Zoom accounts we could use.
So glad everyone got to honor DX. I’ve been thinking about him a lot.
Kitty-ma for Volans.

Jesse I’m dying to know how the babas were! I have no concept of what they should taste like.

Sorry I missed you all yesterday. Hope to join the next time.

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't talk about DX really, partially because we do that here, and partially because I didn't want to ugly cry on camera. It was just really good for the soul to hear the voices and see the faces of people who mean so much to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is possible I said babka, because I keep doing that!
Speaking of yum and recipes, this one looks good, but it's the story (short) that makes me totally want to try it - posted on Post Secret, apparently a secret family recipe of the poster, whose "petty, vindictive aunts" shouldn't be keeping it from the world. Love it. And then it got posted to reddit, ha.
That is a great story and does look good. Our student preacher this morning gave his family recipe for cornbread in the sermon, so it must be that time of year....

It was similar to the get-togethers after ita's death. We honored them by reaffirming our bonds as a community. We carried on Buffista-ing.

Love one another.
Popping into new Natter to let you folks know I'm still reading even though it feels like I hardly ever post.
I'll echo amych's "Buffistas are my buddy system." (Hi amych! Love you, miss you.) Ed was the first person to speak to me at the Pasadena F2F, which has so many highlights for me I can't possibly summarize them all. He was such a mensch in so many ways.
This group was my first experience falling in love with a whole community at once, and I do treasure and will always treasure all of you for putting up with my inability to filter or compartmentalize.
Too much to meara, I'm afraid. But I hold each and every one of you close in my heart.
