HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU Susan McCormick!!! I understand you are turning the big five oh! Sneaks up on you doesn’t it? Welcome to a new and wonderful decade! And the good news is - 50 is this year’s 40! (Sort of like Galinda’s “black is this year’s pink” don’t you think?) So, you actually get to be 40 again – no foolin’!
Susan – you are a most dear friend. I could run on about what a wonderful, arms open to hug a friend kind of gal you are. However, I would rather include in this blog a description of my favorite mental picture of you, which is Susan, standing in front of a classroom of 6th graders (some - in my imagination - with piercings and Mohawk purple hair) wearing a denim jumper, white tee, and Doc Martins, breaking into an enthusiastic- enough- for Broadway rendition of “OOOOOKLAHOMA! where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain.....” – (did I ever tell any of you bloggers that Susan and I went to see Oklahoma in Chicago at the Auditorium Theater a few years ago and she sang every word?)
Looking forward to another summer visit this year so we can “do” Chicago up right and see the White Sox, a play, a museum, the lakefront, eat lots of low cal Chicago food and get almost enough sleep to remain conscious! One of these days I might even get you out here in the winter to see what it is like to have Lake Michigan look like a giant slurpee!
I hope you have a wonderful day, year, and decade Susan and enjoy every morsel of your cake!
Love, Mo
