Happy Birthday, Auntie Bridgett

Dear Liza,

Our dear Bridgett got another year older last week, and we had a fun time celebrating. The day was a bit overcast and began with routine medical appointments, but we didn’t let that stop the fun.

There were packages arriving from friends and flowers from family, and Facetime with her Momma Donna and sister Esther ( and the kids, Nick, and their new dog Tucker)!

Cards, cards, and more cards…

And finally, dinner out in the open courtyard of The Kennedy School. Lots of food, wine, Edgefield Tonic Number 7, and conversation made the evening special.

When we had eaten all we could hold we wandered the halls of the old school (now a delightful McMenamin’s property) and then headed home.

Life isn’t ’back to normal’, and I don’t know when it will be. When we leave the house we always take masks and consider the enclosed nature and social distancing of our destination. Covid is always on our minds. But life is still full of flowers, friends, and reasons to celebrate.
