Celebrating Friends

It's so fun to celebrate the birthdays of good friends.  We have an unofficial birthday lunch club, started by my good friend, Farhana Hibbert, and we love to get together on birthdays, eat good food and talk.  Farhana is an amazing person who cares deeply about her friends and is willing to do anything for them.  She is happy, kind, and generous, and she is also (drum roll)........41!  Happy birthday!

 I feel blessed to be her friend, and so do many other people.  Here are just a few of her friends: 

 Back row: Sally, Myndee Wells        Middle row: Anita Vallaidolid, Dawn Christiansen, Beena Rahim
 Front row:  Pearl Myers, Ronna Dueling, Farhana, Priscilla Hensley, Tammy Scardino, Uma Rahim

Glenna Smith is another good friend who celebrated a birthday this week.  She turned 89 (and looks 70!), so we made her a Boston Cream Cake and sang on her doorstep.  She has had an amazing life and 89 great years.  She told me it's all due to good living.  Since Glenna loves sweets, I'm assuming that good living includes good chocolate, so I figure I should be good for at least 90 years!
