Dear Diane,
I want to wish you a wonderful birthday!!
As we gear up for some wintry precipitation, I think back on the snowstorm that you experienced with me and Aunt Rita all those years ago in Bethesda at the 7620 Edenwood Court house. You had come to visit for a few days, and I think you had an event in the DC area to go to. We went to bed with the expectation of a few inches of snow and woke up to find that we had more than 24 inches of snow, completely covering our neighbors VW bug and so high against the doors that we had to get out of the house through the sliding door in the family room. Uncle Jack was in Germany, so it was just us four girls (you, me, my mom, and Schatzi). I had baked a cake the night before for a high school club meeting that was to occur the next afternoon, and with school being canceled for days, you and I attacked that cake in between the hours of shoveling we did. You were stranded at our house for much longer than you had intended, but we ended up having a pretty fun and relaxing time. I remember we all watched TV, played games, ate and laughed a lot. I hope your birthday does not come with 24 inches of snow but that you get to enjoy some delicious birthday cake, laughter, and celebration with your kids.
Thinking of you and sending hugs, warmest wishes, and so much love to you!
Your cousin, Kay
