Aly's Birthday Dinner

Hiya Dad,

            Our busy grown up Aly-Paly turned 24 today; seems like just yesterday she was that little golden-curled toddler following you around everywhere, out in the woods behind your big house ~ remember the tree house you built for her there?  The platform is still there . . .

            We all went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant of Aly's choice ~ Aly, Evan, Cris, Johnny, Lorraine, me, AND MOM!  

(Cris, Aly, Mom, Johnny)

Yes, Dad, it is true ~ Mom went with us ~ her first time in a restaurant in, what, 15 years or so??  She ate everything on her plate (vegetarian special).  It was a bittersweet dinner for us: so very happy to celebrate Aly, but sad you were not there, and sad Johnny leaves in three days.  Mom gave Johnny your Hamburg derby, Dad. It looks great on him . . .


Love,
Alys
