Pretty’s birthday party at home of dear friends Dick and Curtis

Saskia and Pretty all smiles while Curtis keeps watch over candles

Dick’s birthday was the day after Pretty’s – much merriment at the dinner table

(Dick, Bill, and Saskia share laughs)

a toast for Saskia who became an American citizen this month

she and her son Finn have been family to us for as long as I can remember

Curtis, Saskia, Finn, Pretty, Dick, me, and Bill

thanks to Curtis for the group photo!

A jolly group – thanks to 14-year-old Finn for lowering the group’s average age, and no thanks to Dick and me for doing the opposite.

Happy Birthday to Pretty and Dick! We celebrate friendships that have stood the test of decades with laughter and love – that anchor holds us together, and we are grateful.

    Happy Birthday to the always beautiful Pretty and also to Dick!! Many strawberries lost their lives this day, but it was a worthy sacrifice!!

    I love the group photo.

      This is strawberry season in South Carolina!
      Dick turned 80 the day after Pretty turned 65!
      We is all old except for Finn who is smarter than all the rest of us put together. Sigh.
      You would love him. Pretty was in the hospital when he was born – I kept tabs from Texas.
      Have a great weekend, my friend.
