Six of us gather regularly for dinner Friday nights at the OFH, that is if I'm not at The Little House, when they meet without me. Last night we gathered for a special occasion, a birthday party. One of our regulars has a birthday very soon and we got to have the first party for her. MonaMae will be 102 on June 9! So, naturally we needed to celebrate. It's a rare opportunity to celebrate a person's 102nd birthday.
MonaMae is blessed with a good memory and a large and attentive family. The family is planning a series of events to honor her. It was fun to be a part of the first one. She lives two apartments from me so we often meet in the hallway. In the card we all signed I wrote, "I want to be like you when I grow up." It happened once that it was only the two of us at dinner. It was a fascinating conversation as we discussed politics in complete harmony.
Takk for alt,
Al
