August 25th

A year ago takes me back to Michigan and afternoon with DAD at Copper Harbor followed by an evening with new friends (later to become some of the best!). Today I again find myself surrounded by new folks. But 3 Feliz Cumpleanos serenades, 2 cake-and-ice-cream occasions, and 1 mini-fiesta with my host family, friends, and neighbors made a stranger and foreigner feel welcomed and loved on her birthday.
