Seventy Years!

Seventy sounds scarily old to me, but it was still nice for Nic, Alison, Tim, Megan, John, Calista, Cally, and Dan to join me to observe this milestone, like it or not, along with our neighbors Frank and Derek, and also, via Skype, Sissi and family in Germany. As always, we ate royally and copiously, thanks to contributions by all….along with thirty-plus bottles of Monika Wood Memorial Beer. Saturday, March 15 was a nice early-spring day, sandwiched between snowstorms.

A happy birthday to you!
Thanks, Janet. And do keep in mind that you and Eric have a standing invitation to come visit. It would be great to see you both.
Happy Birthday, Bob! One look at you proves that 70 is the new 50.
It’s nice to see Monika’s smile on John’s and Dan’s face.
Thanks for the nice compliment, Sherry, though as Monika’s experience attests, things can change rapidly and unexpectedly. But I do feel in good health and even feel I’m beginning to get over the worst part of the grieving process. And if I’m “really” 50, living the next twenty years doesn’t sound bad at all! 🙂
p.s. I’m still hoping that you and Bill will manage to get down here someday!
