Birthday Month

It's Mary's birthday next week. She is going to be 79-years old. Las Vegas has been breaking heat records and she is really suffering. I am going to phone her within minutes to ask what she wants for her birthday but we always add a few more things. Michael wants to send some warm weather clothing for her trip next month to a family reunion in Decauter, Illinois. He has such great taste that I want him to go with me to help pick something out for his mom.

Michael spoke with William yesterday who was in Tulsa on his way to a concert at the Taste of Chicago festival tomorrow. Hopefully, the weather will be in the 80s instead of 100s! He also confirmed that we are going to be celebrating Michael's 60th birthday in Seattle with him and Kimberly. A road trip! Let the preparations begin!

My niece's birthday is also next week. And our former neighbor Nancy is celebrating another birthday as well. I think July wins the month of most birthdays for our family!

But, the one we are most looking forward to is for Nancy and Jay's son-in-law's surprise 60th birthday party in ten days. When we moved next door to them in 1982, their daughter Janet was still in high school! We have know them forever and continued our relationship with the entire family even after they moved away into retirement. I love their family and always enjoy being part of their celebrations.

Lots of cake. Lots of candles this month. Lots of wishes.
