11/25 -- If Today is Your Birthday...

Some of the Moa Boas: (l-r) Hilda, Julie, Leslie, Helen
Blowing Rock, NC, 11/2/08 (by Kate)
(We missed you, Carol!)




...If today is your birthday, then you are a member of that fortunate group of friends who call themselves the Moa Boas.




...If today is your birthday, then you may, in fact, be the one they call the "Keeper of the Flame."




...If today is your birthday, then I believe that whole "let's-go-to-the-cemetary-after-dark" idea was yours!


(Hilda, Kate & "georgepembly")


(Ok, bringing the skeleton was my idea. But you started it!)




...If today is your birthday, the seed of our friendship was planted during ladies' tennis on Wednesday nights at Hamilton Lakes. (Can that really have been more than two or three years ago?!!!)




...If today is your birthday, that little seed blossomed into what is now our special moa boa garden -- a bunch of vibrantly colored flowers which do okay in their own pots, but which, if they are to truly thrive and flourish, must be planted in close proximity to each other!.



...If today is your birthday, then you are one of the people I am most grateful to have in my life, and I look forward to all of our times together with happy anticipation!




...If today is your birthday, I hope it will be filled with all of the things you love. Have a wonderful birthday, Hilda!
