This Friday Grownup Girl will be sleeping in the room in which this very large (4 x 4)sunflower painting she did back when she was a theatre major hangs—does the girl have brains and talent or what?
Her birthday, February 24, fell during finals week, but this week is spring break and she and 17 or so of her closest friend are flying to Vegas for a getaway—at a nonsmoking resort. She and her boyfriend are going to rent a car and drive her for a couple of days—we’re really looking forward to it.
I will be cooking her traditional homecoming feast of pasta with lots of pesto and steak. A friend of hers once commented that I sure served a lot of pesto—“Not really,” I replied “you just come for dinner when she comes home and that’s her favorite meal.”
She’s now 26, which is quite adult, but not all that different than 24 (which it looks like is the last birthday post I wrote for her—sorry). Happy Birthday and enjoy Vegas, GuG!
Major talent there! Belated happy BD to her!
