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.
