It was the birthday of my cousin Cynthia on November 25. She has absolutely picked up the party spirit and a strong sense of hospitality from her mom, my Aunt Carmen. She's eager to celebrate special occasions. And she treats guests with abundant hospitality. That was definitely the case back in the summer when Aunt Carmen turned 90. She did so much to make a special celebration for her Mom, and kept up an enthusiastic sense of energy through it all. I spent a couple of nights at the home of her and Mark, her husband. She served great meals and did so much to make me feel comfortable. It's only fitting that it would now be her turn to be celebrated so energetically.
My Aunt Terri's birthday was on November 28. With delight I have celebrated her birthday being my aunt and my baptismal godmother. She also exhibits a distinct sense of hospitality. I have fond memories of going to her family home in Wheaton for holiday occasions. She decked out the spaces with a fine touch of interior decoration. And she served great food. I haven't yet visited her home in Arizona, though I hear it has a similar sense of splendid decoration. I've enjoyed the conversations I have with her, especially with all I have to share in updating her about my life when we talk on special occasions. And like me, she has been a huge fan of Gina's Italian Ice.
So Happy Birthday Cynthia and Aunt Terri!
