It’s Marme’s Birthday!

January 8, 2024January 9, 2024

Today we are celebrating Marme’s birthday! I so wish we could be there in person… what I wouldn’t give to be sipping a French seltzer in Paris Market right now. I’m thankful for the time we had together of Thanksgiving, early December and Christmas! This is going to be a hard year to peel away with all of the senior festivities.

I hope I am half as beautiful, bright, selfless, energetic, fun and creative as Mother is in my late seventies. What a tremendous blessing!
