Happy Birthday Everybody

We had a group birthday party tonight for 5 January and 2 December people. Chinese - the best choice, dozens of different dishes passed back and forth under our noses. So many options, so many wonderful flavors. Joanne's mom sent a big enough check to pay for 20 people and we were all full even before the carrot cake went around. It may have been the coldest day of the year, but we were warm and full and laughing a lot. It's such a treat, almost a miracle, in fact, because those of us born this time of year usually come up on the short end of the stick for celebrations. Thank you Joanne and Joanne's mom for celebrating us!
