birthdays

so it was iris' 86th birthday last saturday---i picked them up about 11 and drove down to mike's place at lake jackson, which i had never seen----it was all goodness and light, and a good time had by all, even if i did eat barbecued pig while i was there, the first animal flesh that i have consumed in several months---i ate it for ma, ok?---


junior was, of course, the center of all our attentions----


and speaking of birthdays, yesterday cousin carol turned 123 years old, or something like that---
