“The cure for anything is salt water – sweat, tears or the sea.”
Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen
And being around people who love you, I say… and so I am cured!
My grandmother turns 94 today in fine form. Happy Birthday, Mema! Last weekend 34 of us cousins, great-grandchildren, aunts, uncles, sons and daughters gathered as we do every year on Daytona Beach. What a celebration of family, the year, our Mema… does your family have rituals like this? One of my cousins said it’s her favorite weekend of the year. We are so grateful to our mothers for planning this weekend every year. Thanks Mom and Aunt Patsy!

That quote might just be my new favorite quote, maybe ever. It’s so true! Happy Birthday to your Mema!
Thank you for sharing your family weekend! My family has no such traditions, in fact, no traditions at all, we are all fragmented and separated, so it was nice to live vicariously for a few minutes. Are you back in Europe yet?
