Nano got a warm, spring day to celebrate 25. As I recall, it was seasonably cold and dark for Yardana's.
I had to work on my birthday, but it was worth it to go in for the three cakes and a plate of brownies. I know a lot of growing children with appropriate appetites. Ask me about the skippers who came in with a forest fire on the cake they delivered at the end of the day. Or not, that's pretty much the whole story.
Gail did the heavy lifting to have a backyard party on a cold day in May. We loved it and were so glad all who could make it did. Though some couldn't, we carried on.
The outta-towners came from Hamburg, NY. Separately. Karen and Tom come to town regularly to visit family and brought them to the party. Chris and Darryl hadn't spent a night out of town together in more than three decades, but now that Darryl is retired and doesn't have daily chores on the farm, they made Ithaca and our party Road Trip #1. There will be more.
Darryl made it clear that no future trip will include the steepest way up South Hill from downtown. Saved only by the last 100 yards being down hill. It's like that here.
Dear friends of old and new. I met Sara in 1988. Jen in the early 21st century, and Bailey and Cici just a couple years ago.
Tom and Jody played tunes until their fingers lost the battle with the cold. I had enough requests/suggestions that I lit a fire, but they say out of its range. It was nice to have the tunes, I was in the wrong key and didn't join them. Next time.
Gail and I were the same age for the standard 36 days before she moved on ahead of me again. The party was last year. This year she got her choice of taco and Jarritos at CDMX, and Sweet Melissa's ice cream.
Hope you all have enjoyable birthdays this year.
