Happy 15th Birthday to Sarah, Maria’s granddaughter. Happy 40th Birthday to Leslie, Sarah’s mother/Maria’s daughter.
L-R: Sarah, Paige, Nate, Leslie
The story: I met Maria in 1975, our backyards abutted each other, our husbands talked over the fence, we had dinner together once, then twice, and we both had the same due dates for our first-born child – August 10. Leslie was born on August 4, I was 4 weeks late, Justin was born on September 7. Marriages dissolved, but Maria and I have been steadfast friends ever since. Our babies are turning 40 this year. How is that even possible?
Maria made her famous tacos – we think the record consumption is 20 tacos by Justin when he was in his teens. They are sooo good.
Papa and grandson CJ share cigars on the patio.
I’m sure a lot of grandfatherly advice is being dispensed.
Maria and Tim, thank you for a wonderful two days at Lake Wildwood. Love you.
