My 72nd

 

was spent in Bangor, Maine, visiting Christina

who made it a special day for me:

 

 

 

cooking wonderful feasts (here with her feisty cat Gwen),

 

 

 

 

making a chocolate b'day cake, my favorite.

Contemplating a wish, here with my oldest friend (since 5 months old) Annie Moody,

 who came down from further north to visit for the day,

 

 

 

 

and going on walks with Toby--love this brother/sister photo.

 

Plus trying to watch "Kolya," great movie--but that Gwen keeps crowding in (cats love Toby, he's less enthusiastic about them).  Gwen, however, won.

 

 

 

Then a night spent at our friends Bob and Steffi Harris on Mt. Desert Island in their beautiful home.

Great get-away for us and great b'day for me!
