The anniversary party was wild and fun! The food was fabulous and the company even better. It was so packed and I am sorry if we did not get to speak with you, we had no idea. The love and support was overwhelmingly wonderful and again (still?) I find myself in a state of gratitude.

We did miss you if you were not there, though there will be other parties to attend.

The weather was fabulous for awhile, wasn't it? And now it is June! June! Christmas is right around the corner... oops! Sorry, I know you hate to hear that, but time FLIES. Here it is Summer Solstice in 3 weeks and it seems like we were just celebrating the new year.

I found the beginning of a poem that I think is hopeful and lovely, I hope you like it:

"June is the sweetest month.
Of the calm and tempest tossed twelve,
June is the fairest of them all.
No rough winds shake the darling buds of May.
And contrary to the Bard’s refrain
Heaven’s eye never shines too hot.
For June is more lovely and more temperate."

Hal Caufield
