Dear Liza,
Your Auntie Katie, my baby and your daddy’s little sister, turned 40 this past Friday.
It was a fun evening! Friends from all over ( even your Daddy in Denmark) got together on ZOOM, and three even traveled from Canada, California and Eugene, Oregon to come visit in person. We called Katie’s sweetie, Marion, mid-party and she came by to join the fun.
Grandpa Nelson, Auntie Bridgett and I brought good food from Pastini to feed everyone. Andrea, Auntie Katie’s business partner, brought a yummy cake and candles from Market of Choice.
There was lots of horsing around and silliness. Auntie Katie brought out her photo albums and we got to visit with long-gone friends and family.
And there were presents! Auntie Bridgett and I had picked out an embroidered pillow at GiftyKitty weeks ago, and now the two snuggling kitties look like Katie and Marion! It is so cute I almost exploded.
When it was time to get Cousins Kestrel and Jasper to bed, we dropped Jasper at his best friend’s house and brought Kes to sleep here so the Party Ladies could continue.
I am so glad we got to be together.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza 
How WONDERFUL to get you special greeting yesterday. So Katie turns 40! Wow, that old. As for Valentine greetings, I tell John that Valentine’s Day is everyday for me having him here. My love goes to you all. Yes, even Mouse.
