In the midst of my vagabond summer I decided to make the most of my quasi-funemployment and take a quick trip to Chicago to visit a few of my very best friends and attend a traditional Taylor Family Lamb Roast. I had a wonderful time thanks in large part to my gracious and effervescent host, Mara, who welcomed me into her home without having actually met me before. Hilarity ensued and when I returned home I decided to make a few thank you notes in a style fit for a (Carol) Prinze.

The cover of my thank you note to my dearest Katie who lovingly hosted me the rest of the trip and whose lamb roast it was my pleasure to attend. This is my reinterpretation of our day at the beach.
