Today we celebrated both Ken's birthday and our anniversary. Yesterday we celebrated Ken's birthday, giving him a surprise cake and ice cream for dessert, until we realized that his birthday was actually the 19TH, which would have been the next day. Two celebrations are better than one, so today we celebrated in earnest, having lunch at Charlotte Lane in Shelburne and having a cocktail party tonight here with the six of us and the Ely's and Mitchell's. It was a lovely size for a party. Ken was pleased.
Ken doesn't usually enjoy celebrating his birthday, something about getting old. Perhaps it has to do with being the center of attention, which he actively does not like or enjoy or tolerate. But today was a lovely day. We drove along the shore going both to and back from Shelburne. Talk about a home with a view!! We saw so many beautiful vistas today with homes both large and small. Every road a movie set.
Norm and Diane arrived yesterday evening. We are enjoying them. Norm is my nephew so I have known him all his life. It is a wonderful thing to see the young folks turn out so well and for us to be a little part of their life. If we had not purchased this place by the ocean, I feel sure we have only been meeting Norm and Diane very rarely at family celebrations. Now they are here and we are pleased to see them.
