Today is Amy's 15th birthday. The Erickson's are without a PC at this time, so I will have to call to wish her a happy birthday.
Michael became 46 on the 16th. We stuffed ourselves at the Empire Buffet on Thursday, a Chinese feast. Tonight, the children will be spending the night with friends'. We magically get another date. It may be time for that action-packed, romantic comedy with language, adult situations, and maybe a car chase or two (for Michael). I am interested in Highway 61 since Kelly - the hungry photographer - wrote that suggestion. Michael has agreed to "Sideways" so that may be what we get.
Mary Catherine and Julia went digging in the archives and were mildly insulted that their birthdays were not broadcast in the past - May 27th and Sept. 15th, respectively. Mary C. just joined the ranks of teen-hood. Blessed be. I hope some of you Minnesotans got to tell her "hey" while she is up there spending time with Maddie and Isabel. And also a big "hey" to my Mom. I miss our morning phone conversations since she has been gone. We should have plenty to talk about next week. She isn't returning until tomorrow night, so there is still time to let her look at you.



Happy Birthday, Amy & Michael, Julia and Mary Catherine. I need help with the birthdays. I know Mom's, Patsy's, and my brothers and sisters but that's basically it. I know Joey's because I get a reminder from some e-service that we all signed up for. I'm going to have to look into some sort of birth date repository I can keep online.
