My friend Greg will be 50 on September 9th. He stays at his parents in Issaquah while in
Seattle. They had a birthday party for
him this afternoon. His mom, dad and two
of the four brothers Dan and Gerry were there along with TM, Lea and myself.
I have not been to a friend’s parent’s house for a birthday since I was
a kid—to the best of my memory. It was
nice. Greg’s mom does not get around so
well now. Greg did the vast majority of
the cooking and serving. We had shrimp-like
langostinos, potatoes, bread, corn on the cob, green beans and birthday cake. It was very pleasant.
I am grateful to have been invited to and attended Greg’s birthday
party. It is nice to see a family that
spends time together. Growing up in the
major cities of the east coast was clearly a lot different than growing up on a
farm in Auburn. Not better or worse—just
way different.
