I need to send out some giant birthday thank yous for all of the kind wishes. There was bowling, friends, a little too much to drink, and lots and lots of cake. In fact, there is still lots and lots of cake. Must get to that....

"I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it." - Joan Didion

Glad you had a great birthday... but you forgot to share the most important thing, what kind of cake did you eat?
happy belated birthday! glad to hear it was smashing.
Happy Birthday, you. You are thought of and missed more than you know...(I am working on that). I have much to tell you and much I want to hear. Take care, and best wishes to a wonderful friend who deserves as much good as she gives (as she is).
Kari- Andrew made a four layer alternating strawberry and white cake with strawberry frosting between the layers and vanilla on the outside. My friend Sara made Funfetti with delightful sprinkles on top that I'm not ashamed to say I'm still eating.
