FJL-Since your birthday is in May then I would hope you would have nice memories of your special day. It isn’t trivial at all.
I had two wedding showers in May, those were memorable, mostly because of the people who gave them and my excitement of the upcoming event.
My mother died on May 20, 1982. We had just moved so Keith stayed home with his new job & the pets while the boys & I caught the next flight home. The funeral was a nightmare for me. That was a terrible May. The week before my mother died our long time, 16 year old, baby sitter died, description is not needed.
So FJL, I really enjoyed your “trivial” description of your birthday.
CP-I’m glad you missed the riot.
