This past weekend, two of my favorite people had birthdays. Here's Annie, my long-time pal from Girl Scout camp almost 20 years ago (wow...), who currently holds down the fort in Seattle. Happy, happy birthday, my Annie girl! It's been a good year for you, huh? I'm wishing you so much happiness for the year to come.

And here's Lisa, who has an incredibly hospitable heart, and who I get to hang out with soon in Anchorage! Hope it's an amazing year, dear one.
