Snowball Fighting

Fun with friends and family in heavy snow with snow balls.

well, it's my birthday too, yeah!

usually on my birthday, i have a party, either brunch or dinner. i shop and cook and clean up the garden.i barely leave myself time to take a shower and get changed. but i love my friends and i love to wine and beer and dine them. this year was different. my partner, nele and her equally beautiful sister ,tini, threw me a party at tini's fabulous apartment. while the "small but charming" house is slightly shabby chic, tini's home is all space and limestone counters and big fur poufs. there were marines and freshly lipsticked lesbians, old friends with their new friends and life of the party gay boys, and of course, two dogs. what's a party without lab drool? kisses and hugs to the hostesses and to all who got dressed up (even if they bitched about it) and came to celebrate. and kisses and hugs to you who couldn't be there in body but were with us in spirit.and thanks for the time allotted to me to dress up!

feeling lucky

though my birthday isn't until friday, because i know such wonderful people, i've already received phone calls, cards and presents. yesterday, in the mail, came a mylar envelope, in the mylar envelope was THE orange box, in THE orange box was a beautiful scarf. the scarf was hermes, the pattern is "flacons" the girlfriends are susan and margo. thank you both from the bottom of my heart. i am, one ,very lucky woman.
