18

It has finally happened.

My youngest, Nicole, turned 18 on Friday.

Whew!

She wanted to celebrate her birthday with our friends from TOILA, so wifey and I spent hours and hours cleaning an apartment that hasn't seen that thorough a cleaning in a couple of months. And the food shopping - oy, vey! Then there is the food prep (thanks, Jo!).... it just never ends! By the time 2pm rolled around, I was already exhausted. Then the guests started arriving.

We had a good time visiting with everyone, and Nicole got some wonderful gifts from my sister-priestesses. She is such an adult in so many ways, and yet so young in others.

Happy Birthday, Nicole!
