| Lily surrounded by her BFFs |
Yesterday Hedi (in red, behind) hosted a very nice birthday party for Lily, in the middle in green. We all live in the same apartment complex and have grown quite fond of our sweet Guatemalan transplant. Lily doesn't look her age, and since she is far younger than I am, she has allowed me to "adopt" her as her American mother. Hedi says since I've usurped the mother label, she'll act as the aunt.

This morning, Lily and I joined the ladies for a nice five-mile walk, and then Gene treated all four of us regular Avellino customers to breakfast at Greene's Corner. I had a wonderful kimchee breakfast bowl, super healthy and delightful. I sure like it when I get to enjoy someone else's birthday as much as I would my own. In fact, maybe even more, since I didn't have to endure becoming another year older!

ha! Looks like you had lots of fun!!
ReplyDeleteAs you say, it can be just as much fun celebrating a friend's birthday as celebrating your own.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you enjoyed yourselves!
ReplyDeleteYou always look like you have a ball Jan. Happy birthday to Lily!
ReplyDeleteCelebrating friends and loved ones is always nice...especially since your age remains the same! Happy birthday to your friend!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun party!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to have such good friends.
ReplyDeleteCome on... a year older beats the only alternative..:)

ReplyDeleteJan, you have the gift of making friends everywhere. Your apartment group of gals is like extending your family.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your "daughter", Lily.
OMGosh! Looks like a marvelous time!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Lily! :)
How cool is that? And another observation I am finding there a a great number of men with beards these days. Nice to have ‚„“family‘.
ReplyDeleteBirthdays are always fun, especially when they're someone else's!
ReplyDeleteHow nice she has such an extended family now. Like you, I really enjoy other's birthdays more. Painless and fun.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to celebrate special times with good friends and belated Happy Birthday to Lily from NH
ReplyDeleteWell then, happy birthday to your 'daughter'
ReplyDeleteDear DJan, such a happy posting. It made me smile just to read it. And isn't it a wonder when someone becomes like a daughter--or son--to us. That's happened to me with a fellow blogger. She's 35 and I first read her blog when she was 28. She has truly become like a daughter. Well, age-wise I could be her grandmother! Peace.
