21!
Last evening, we drove to the port city of Limassol and celebrated our daughter’s 21st birthday. We had Lebanese food and then on to Starbuck’s and a walk on the beach. Songs of joy and birthday tunes… Here’s her buddies. As a mother, it is very bittersweet to have a child turn 21. I have…

…Silence I am behind in everything. My house really needs to be cleaned, not just touched up. My laundry is chasing me around the room.
