She really looked like she was having a big ol' time, didn't she? I thought it was so cool! And, as usual, Kate looked like a million bucks!

I am so glad so many of you had managed to have a look at the celebrations yesterday and thank you for taking the time to reply. I am amazed that the Queen stood for so long and it was cold yesterday. I am 20 years younger than her, and I could not have stood all that time. I agree that Kate looked lovely and I think the whole day made us all realize that the Royal family are loved and respected - some of their popularity diminished at Princess Diana's tragic accident I feel. Yesterday showed us all - that it is not the case now !
There is a big concert on tonight in front of Buckingham Palace with Stevie Wonder, Elton John Paul McCartney, Cliff Richard and many others - it should be good.!
I would love to come to the Bennington Museum to see the Dear Jane Quilt - which is hung in Sept/ Oct time - one day !

What a wonderful event! We watched from Scottsdale, AZ. Here is the funny thing: I have been doing genealogy research on line, and have discovered that much of my family tree comes from England! I had no idea. I have traced our roots to 4 families on the Mayflower and then back to England, then amazingly....to a place called Drewsteignton in Devon (my family name is Drew). I am SO excited!!!! I can't wait for another trip to England, this time as a person "coming home" as opposed to last time when I was a tourist!
