Happy Birthday "Old" Friend

Today is my oldest friend, Shelley's birthday! I'm not saying that I discriminate against people over age 35... I mean "oldest" in that we met in Kindergarten in 1979! She lived behind me & went to my church, and we were inseparable throughout our childhood & teen years. She lives out in CA now and we are limited to seeing each other when we visit our parents in St. Louis at holidays. I've just got to visit her, though. Why haven't I thought of a lovely girls weekend in San Diego before? Shel... can't wait to see you @ Christmas! "See" you tomorrow on Facebook, I'm sure!!! Happy Birthday!!! Hoch sol sie leben. Hoch sol sie leben. Drei mal... Hoch Hoch Hoch! {That is a German Birthday Beer-drinking song that we learned in High School. Beer? High School? Seriously?}
