A Russian Birthday
I didn't know that this gathering of friends was actually going to be a celebration of my birthday. It was a joyous evening at the Russian restaurant Mari Vanna - four Americans and three Russians.

Birthday Lunch with Carol
My friend Carol and I always celebrate our birthdays together but somehow we are never very punctual with these special occasions. This year we celebrated Carol's November birthday on July 21. And since my birthday is in June, we celebrated mine at the same time! We had a three-hour lunch at the Silver Diner in Springfield. We ate but mostly talked and talked and talked.

Christine, Andrea, and Nicoletta
Assaggi Osteria is Andrea's very favorite Italian restaurant in the US. We enjoy taking special people there. Before our lovely daughter Nicoletta returned to Italy, we took her here for a delicious lunch. We had lovely time but we were very sorry that Nicoletta was leaving us. We did have a wonderful week together.
