  • The birthday came [and went]

    I just had my 68th birthday – and had a birthday party too. I was so glad I decided to change thoughts about doing a party.

    Friends and neighbors came – many bearing food and wine [learned here that asking people not to bring anything falls on deaf ears] so we ate and ate and had some good wines and many deserts. This morning I found some deserts that had gotten placed in safe spots and never made it to the table…Safe is needed as my dog’s mouth reaches all surfaces and even so – he helped himself to some food that got too near the edge of the table : o ) [and given the chewed wine corks I guess he tried those as well]

    So for someone who dislikes her own birthday parties it was worth doing. I felt very lucky not only to be alive but to be surrounded by such neat caring people. Guess I’ll have to plan parties for a few more years to come as the candles were a 6 and an 8 – and someone suggested that I can re-use them for my 86th!

    So here’s to that 86th birthday party!

    Having my son around and my schedule off a bit took some getting used to. Now we are both doing our own thing. He is working, playing and generally enjoying this part of the country – he’d never been here for more than a few days.

    He’s made new friends and caught up with some he knew from DC who now live out here. It made me stop and think again of friends. I stayed in touch with only one childhood friend – but she stayed in touch with others – so now some of us – the regular emailing types are back in touch.

    I am in more frequent contact with friends from D.C. and a few from Vermont – but most from high school, college and graduate school days are gone. Sometimes I go onto the Internet doing searches and have found one or two but statistics say that “we” do not use the Internet as much as others – so are we never to get back in touch? I hope not…Many of my friends have moved around so it’s hard to know where to look.

    Hopefully some day we will all meet up here on the blog : – friends) or in general cyberspace.

    But we all need friends – they keep us healthy – so if you lost contact with some from the past -find them – and also make new ones wherever you are.
