Tomorrow, not today, tomorrow is my Aunt’s Birthday. I have been trying very hard to remember her birthday as it is her first alone without my Uncle.  All week I have been telling myself, call your  Aunt on Friday, call on Friday, don’t forget Friday… call your Aunt.

Well, this morning, I remembered!  Ah ha, I must call my Aunt, it’s her Birthday!

The phone rang for a bit, then my breathless Aunt answered.  She had been running back in to grab her grocery list that she had forgotten.  I wished her a Happy Birthday and we got chatting, talking about the snow, skiing, weather, Delaware,Vice-President Bidon.  Then she reminded me that it was indeed THURSDAY.  The day before her birthday.  Ack.

 Well, at least I was first to send her wishes and who knows perhaps we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to chat tomorrow as she will be busy with her friends, playing bridge, having lunch, and finally a  birthday dinner.  I only wish it wasn’t winter.  As I would have headed down with my Sister to Charlotte, NC and made a birthday stop at my Aunt’s house and perhaps my favorite beach.

 Since I had no desire to drive for fifteen hours with Apple and J in the Winter, I figured a photo of my Sister and I at the beach this past July will suffice for now.  And possibly remind me why I put up with all this snow.  Which I believe is to appreciate Summer so much more.

Happy Birthday sweet Aunt.  May you have a wonderful day with friends and family and know, that we all Love you so much.

*Note: My Aunt has not changed a bit, those two photos were taken two years and two seasons apart, there is something to be said for not enduring Winter.
