80

Today, we celebrate with the neighbor next door.  Some time around midnight this morning, 80 years ago, her mother gave birth to an amazing woman.  Okay, that's not quite true.  She gave birth to a bouncing baby girl who has turned into an amazing woman.  For 38 years we have been neighbors, and what a hoot it has been.  To celebrate tonight, we will sneak into the ball game where her grandson is playing baseball and sing to her, toting chocolate chips cookies for those in attendance.  They're fresh out of the oven, and they are good!  I can't wait to see the expression on her face.  It'll be pretty clear, since she will probably kill me!  Ah, well.  At least I will go with memories of a fantastic warm chocolate chip cookie.  Celebrate whenever you can, and know you are loved!
