Consider this a mini-family birthday party? I’ll try to be quick because WordPress keeps crashing (right after I finished the original title, Happy Birthday to Me, I’m 103)
Not too much has happened today. I got two vintage Language of Flowers books from the mid-1800s, a music box, a locket with a little music box inside, a mini-Greek book for vacation, and a small collection of old historical items (like an ancient bug trapped in amber!). I wonder each year if you or Mom have thought of me today. I hope you have. I think we went to that very good bagel shop six years ago. I don’t remember its name, but I remember that it’s downtown somewhere.
Mom and I got ice cream. We’re going to FaceTime Laura soon. I hope you’re not unhappy; I know I always am on your birthday. But I won’t dwell for too long. I am spiritually sending you a slice of our lemon cake from Washington. I love you.
With love,
Alice
