Today was Victoria’s birthday. I woke up extra early to give her a small present and help her get everything together for the morning. While eating breakfast, her daughter called to tell her she wanted to send her mom flowers. Suzy is going to college about 6 hours away from here and unfortunately couldn’t come celebrate with us today.
Forgetting about the different modes of mail transportation in this country, I wrote off Suzy’s comment about the flowers as a joke. So when Chief came home from the bus station with two dozen fresh roses Victoria got a great laugh at my very confused expression. I guess in this country it’s feasible to forget a special occasion for a friend or loved one living far away and still get something to them on that very same day!
Anyway, I helped prepare the food Victoria wanted to eat today and set up tables on the roof of the house to eat dinner in the fresh evening air. A few friends came over for the celebration and we had a great time stuffing each others’ faces with cake before even getting to the main course. Happy Birthday, Victoria!
