TODAY *IS* A NATIONAL HOLIDAY

As today is the birthday of my oldest (not literally!) and dearest friend.. Mary Beth. Every year we'd gather for her bday party and eat spaghetti with those squirrely corkscrew noodles, served with gold flatware. We had a fine time, pinning tails on donkeys, wearing festive party hats, and running around the dining room table chasing Pierre (the dog). Yes, just as she always thought, it was a *national holiday* as back then, to me, our now 48 year friendship had encompassed my whole lil world.

Happy BDay Oldest Best Friend :)

Hi there! And I thought I was a slack blogger! You must have a life or something, Lace.

I like this post though - full of fun and affection.

Thanks for visiting over at mine. I remember you were Rachel's first blogger, so yours was one of the first names I ever saw on these pages. What a lot has happened since then.

How is your music project going?

Hi Margie!! Nice to seeya here. I always enjoy your posts over at Petes. I am a slacker blogger for sure, it seems like ages ago that Rachel found me on the internet and made her blog to come to mine. Talk about serendipity, for me anyway.

Now, which music project do you mean? The CC one is on hold right now as I've been sick and am waiting to get back to it, the one Rachel alludes to at her blog must be up to something I guess!! I think I'll be finding out when the others there do!!
