The Day I Saw the Queen...
For once, my camera was cooperating....talk about a great shot!
It was lovely.
Once in a lifetime!
I was like a foot from her...she's tiny!
She's a fast walker too, she moved down the line...soooo fast!
I just love that her bag and shoes are coordinated.
I think this is a first for GSFC in my tenure there....snipers on the roof!
Yeah...Secret Service Guys are so so so so very DELISH!!
rowr!
Today was really really really cool.

My Sheeps Adventure and Yarn haul post will have to wait for another day...
I'll be posting the pictures I get from everyone on my Gallery
