Of all the things I could give Mom for her birthday, the very best would be the promise to always try to work things out with my bros.

Happy happy birthday to my good friend, Laures. Quite an achievement to reach 85? Hope you have a great day with your family and get to eat cake. We are fine and loving Maine this summer. So glad you got to spend some time here too. Miss you and all our old Cape Elizabeth friends. Those were good times.
You sure had fun : )
