Today is a Wonderful Day

Today is a wonderful day. Ninety years ago my friend Anastasia, better known as Annie was born.

A few weeks ago I told Annie that I would have her over for dinner, but as our kitchen remodel was delayed and started several weeks late, the dinner I had hoped for, cannot take place in a bare kitchen full of dust. I thought about something simple in the garden, but unfortunately the weather is threaten rain.

We will go out to dinner, I don't know when the last time Annie went out for dinner. Most likely we will go along the seaside this evening.

I will post our celebration this evening… Until then

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ANNIE,

I am happy to know you, and hope our paths continue along the same journey for years to come.

    Timing and weather have conspired to give Annie the best gift of all – a meal out with good friends, all the preparing and serving to be done by others.

    This was a wonderful post and I loved seeing her hands. It was especially refreshing to read that she left her husband at 84. My parents separated on their 50th wedding anniversary and I have always found it so strange. Ultimately they got back together but only because they didn’t know what to do without one another. So glad that strange things like that happen in other places.
