Happy birthday - it is still the 9th in Seattle!

I buried this in Bijou's thread because we were on a short road trip and the internet was unreliable, but now we are home again. I am adding a couple of throwback pictures too from when we met in Seattle about 7 years ago and again in London 5 years ago. When we can all finally travel again, I think it is time for us to meet again!

In case you missed this Angie:
Angie, Happy Happy birthday! I cannot believe it has been 13 years or so since I found YLF and it, just like you, just gets better and better.

We were in the area of the Kinneret/Sea of Galilee for a few days (isolated cabin, eating in). I thought of you when I packed my linen shirt dress to wear over my bathing suit. And cheering you from the hot tub in our cabin . Thank you for giving me the confidence to post these pictures. I 100% attribute that to you and YLF.

I know this is not exactly the 50th birthday you planned, but I hope you have a wonderful day with your boys and they spoil you completely. Well I know they will! Enjoy!

AWWWH! A trip down memory lane is special. How fun! Two pairs of specs and many hairstyles ago

I LOVE your linen dress, and have been to the Sea of Galilee! KILLER beach look, Queen Sunhat! My favourite shade of light blue, and you wear it to perfection.

Your getaway sounds perfect! Thank you for 13 years of YLF support. Very touched.

Lovely photos! Neither you nor Angie have changed a bit!

Jaime! So lovely to see you looking so happy and fresh. Gosh you’re seeing sounds so exotic when I’m stuck in Toronto with a downpour. That dress is EXACTLY what I’m trying to thrift note of these days but they are few and far between! Also I love your curls - they really set off your cheekbones!
