Anyone who is dreaming of a white Christmas can just stop now! It began snowing last evening and didn't stop until 2pm today. Several new inches of snow are on top of the previous inches. It was light, fluffy snow with no wind so there are no drifts. The long range forecast calls for temperatures in the 50s so we'll see what happens.
After posting last night's blog about being an introvert the difference in birthday celebrations for Joanne and me came to mind. Several times I facilitated large birthday events for Joanne. For one I rented a hotel ballroom, arranged for music and invited 200 of her closest friends. 😉 Was it at her big gathering for her 65th when she got 65 roses? For her 80th, at her request, we gathered her nieces and nephews. Her last birthday was on Easter Sunday, she was in home hospice, and Grace University Lutheran sang happy birthday to her at the Easter Services. It was when she saw the video of that that she said "I never knew dying could be so glorious!"
The milestone slips my mind, perhaps my 65th?, and she offered to plan a big party for me. "No thanks" I said, "What I would like is a series of dinners with close friends, one couple at a time." That is what we did. This birthday pattern illustrates the difference between an introvert and an extrovert.
