Hello All....this entry is from the newest member of "Club 50", in honor of my dear brother and sister in law, Jim and Meredith, who were two of the very special people who made this occasion especially memorable. A full birthday weekend, which started on Friday with the surprise arrival of Bianca home from college, then continued with my wonderful parents coming to dinner, then went on with amazingly creative and sentimental gifts from my three incredible daughters.... plus thoughtful phone calls, emails, cards and presents from loving family and friends..... gosh, all this love made me think that this "event" was worth happening 10 years ago!
Well....only sort of.
My big-birthday extravaganza ended with Jim and Meredith welcoming Paul and I to join them for dinner and theater in Boston last night, as their guests. We had such a terrific time appreciating the simplicity of just being together and enjoying each other's friendship. The fab food and awesome theater was an extremely close second to the delight in just treasuring time shared.
So that got me thinking...why not dedicate today's service blog to two wonderful people who clearly appreciate , and value, community service? Jim and Meredith's three children have all participated in the Boston-based City Year program, and like their parents, continue to live lives that support important global causes. We are happy to have made a donation to City Year in their name. Thank you, Jim and Meredith, for making a difference in this world and for making my big-birthday- "sans-Marie", more bearable. Luv Ya tons,
Patricia
