In April I joined three college friends for a weekend in the Portland area where we celebrated our 60th birthdays together. We were all friends from our freshman year on at Seattle Pacific College. Lots of fun!
A couple of months ago we bought our new camera. I gave it to Tom for his birthday and he gave it to me for mine. It's been a wonderful reason to go out together, enjoy a Saturday afternoon, and take a few photos. It's a birthday present we've been enjoying all summer long.
This past Saturday we went to Larabee State Park on Chuckanut Drive and enjoyed the spectacular views of the San Juan Islands from the rocky outcroppings along Puget Sound.
We've had a family celebration, of course. But one other event took place just a few days ago at a park in Snohomish. My high school graduating class had a 60th birthday party. There were about 35, along with spouses and other guests, gathered under the cover on a drizzly Saturday afternoon, getting reacquainted with folks from 42 years ago! It was quite a lot of fun. Among our group was a great-grandfather, and also the daddy of a 4-year-old. You can start the boat ride at the same spot in the same river and end up in such different places.

Happy birthday, dear friend! You're a blessing and a treasure. May you relish every day God gives you and continue to be a joy to all of us who know you.
Thank you, Karen.
