tribute wall for Barbara Nixon, mi amiga

This was taken in January of last year, when Kristin was in town to celebrate her birthday with all of us.

We were at Bowtie's Barbeque, of course, and that's Sandy there looking quizzically at Barbara.

 

Here is one featuring just Barbara and Kaye, with Kaye sporting some very snazzy tights!

We were out for a French musical... such a good time!

Here's a solo of her at her bday70 celebration, held at the same place as Kristin's had been, but two years earlier.

I cannot count the number of times we went there!

Here she is in my living room, a true rarity.

It was June of last year and it must have been a mild, humidity-free day for her to venture here to my AC-less house to watch a movie!

This is from a few months earlier last year, after we attended a free dance recital.

Here, Kelli, Sandy, Kaye, and Boo wait for Rancho Alegre to find a table for the five of us.

I'd snapped a quick photo earlier, too, before the dance began.

Barbara and Kaloyan Hariskov are sitting together, while Sandy, Kaye and Kelli are in the row behind them.

Those were definitely happier times.

(I didn't post this on the Gamble page.)

So, time to fast-forward to this summer.

Here's our usual theatre-going group, sans the photographer.

That would be me, of course!

Now, jump back in time again, back to October of 2021 for a party at Christa's.

Lauri and Lynn were in town, so the Squirrel Mistress called us out to Pooler.

Such great fun we had!

This time, Carolyn was with us, for one of the CinemaSav'h films.

Usually Tomasz picks some good ones, but not for that rainy, September, Friday night two years ago.

Ack!

However, when we went in November last year, he'd brought for us a definite winner.

Barbara and Sandy and I even arrived early enough to enjoy the nex exhibit in the adjacent art gallery.

Dr. Seuss would have loved it!

Here's one from the musical written by Steve Martin, seen at Savannah Country Day this year.

We had a ticket snafu that evening, but it all worked out just fine.

So many good times, wrapped up in photos!

"Dear Debbie, David, family & friends," I'd written as a foreword to the impromptu album of memories, "here are more photos of Barbara, all taken since the pandemic abated. Out and about, at movies, musicals, and meals!"

I do hope these smiles on her face will be reassuring that she lived a fulfilled life, with loving friends often by her side.
