celebrate good times

It's my dad's birthday in India... I'm there in every way except in person... And in the meantime, over here, I'm celebrating with JL, DV, and EM, whose birthdays are this week.

When I dropped something off for Nu this afternoon, they wanted to take me out to lunch* and then we kept talking, talking, talking until it was four hours later and I had to reluctantly say I had to go. (* They wanted to take me out to lunch, but the bookstore where we ended up did not take their college "munch money," and I insisted on paying so they said they'd take me out another time. I didn't plan it that way, but this means we'll get to hang out again soon. I'm feeling fairly Machiavellian and celebrating this too.)

Oh, yay, time with Nu. And how sweet that they wanted to take you to lunch. AND that it didn't work out partially because there was so much to talk about! What a cozy, lovely thing.

I'm so glad to see your parents looking well and happy. What a warm and satisfying post, my friend.

Tricky mom move. It must be nice to be able to drop in on them like that.

Happy b-day to your dad!

Nu is so close! I love that for all of you. Happy Birthday to your dad and all of the birthdays this week! We had 3 this week too, but none were local.

Happy birthday to your dear dad! I have been wondering how your mom is recovering from her health issues earlier this summer so it’s good to see her out and about.

I love that Nu wanted to take you out to lunch! And then gabbed for hours!! How wonderful!
