happy birthday, kari

 It was a beautiful sunny day, foggy in the morning, but warm and bright in the afternoon.

We had spaghetti hot dish for supper and gifts:

 Cake time!  Maria made this delicious cake and dropped it off, a lovely gift.

Kari?

You are truly lovely.  You grew from a nutty squirrel into a graceful, astute, funny woman.

This whole family is better because you're in it.

We're lucky and we know it.

Happy Birthday, my beautiful sweetheart.

We could not love you more, Mom and Dad and Everybody
