Good 49º wispy cloudy morning. Yesterday hit 93º by late
afternoon. Today will probably be the same, even though "they" say it will only
be in the 80ºs.
VJ Day September 2, 1945.....
Hard to see, sorry, but that's me being held by the nurse on
the right. This was on the front page of the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. VJ Day
was BIG and I was the first baby born in Los Angeles on that date (2:03am) and
my name would have been posted with this photo if it had been Virginia Jane or
Valerie June or some VJ name, but Susan Leslie didn't cut it!
This is apropos for this day. All my girlfriends of this ilk
(my generation) will enjoy and laugh. Sent to me by Nancy (Kujala.. Wilson '63)
Thanks Nancy! Still laughing!
Old Ladies by Donnalou Stevens:
You know, this is scary... I have never been this old before! So instead of
celebrating my "birthday" I am celebrating the 39th anniversary of my 30th
birthday!
Yesterday Jeannie threw a birthday lunch for me. Girls only!
AWESOME Quiches, salads, and wine!
Jeannie's mailbox:
Such a GREAT friend!
Jeannie made 3 quiches... crustless, quiche Lorraine,
and a tomato quiche. OMG they were sooooooooooooooooooooo good! She also made a
red cabbage salad (with a Northwoods dressing!), spinach salad with strawberries
(!!), and coleslaw.
Such a wonderful group of friends. I am Blessed!
I wanted a group photo, but one of us had to be behind the camera, so we
took two. I took one picture and Dee took the other.... then I "played with
them"....LOL
L-R: Nancy, Jeannie, Kathy, Donna, me or Dee, PJ, Jennifer, and Dee or
me!
Thank you ladies. You are ALL so special to me!!!!! ♥♥
The cake: Was I crying? How'd I get these numbers on my cake??????

With so many tourists walking around it
wasn't easy to get a shot of the lighthouse without peeps in the picture. I had
to lay down in the rocks to get this shot.
