Today is our late friend Steve R’s birthday. The last birthday we celebrated with him and other friends was in 1992. Every year since, I’ve made him a cake (or sometimes, Lynne made him a cake), and we always invited friends or coworkers to share it with us in memory of Steve.
Usually it’s a Winnie the Pooh-themed cake, and this year, it was again. Also this year, after thirteen months, because we are all fully vaccinated and past our two-week waiting period, we have a friend staying here to celebrate with us. It seems right that Lynne is the first friend back at Houndstooth Hall, because she was the last to stay with us here before we began to isolate at home.
Steve would have been delighted, and any step toward whatever is the new normal is a welcome one.
Happy anniversary of your birth, Steve, and welcome back to your room, Lynne and Minute!
it was fun to be back. life!
And no Lynnes were harmed by dolls in the Lynne Room!
