My older sister’s birthday was this past week. She turned 74. Wow! In the past we always had a birthday celebration for her either at her friend’s home or at my younger sister’s home. This year was very different as my younger sister went out of town leaving on the day of her birthday. So my niece, Lindsay, stepped up to the plate and had Nancy over for supper. I, of course, was called to help, but I had a board meeting for Susan G Komen that began at 5 and normally they last for 2 hours. So, I was off the hook. I was told by my younger sister…. “well, you better at least stop over and bring a present!”

Which is exactly what I did. My meeting adjourned around 7 and I went over to Todd and Lindsay’s where they were already having cake and ice cream. Lindsay had made them lasagna roll ups. (I was supposed to bring the salad). Todd dished me up a small scoop of ice cream and we visited for awhile. Then it was time to open presents. I gave her a little plaque that said: “Sisters are like ice cream.. they fill you up and make you smile!” Very appropriate since Nancy does love ice cream. So, anyway, Happy Birthday, Nancy Reh…
