Sort of odd, don't you think?

Yesterday was one of those days out of the ordinary. Pete and I attended the funeral of a woman we had never met but who was the grandma of one of our Kristin's best friends, Jessica. As stange as it sounds, it was one of those inspiring funerals representing a life well lived...a warm legacy.

And then the stranger part: I spent time yesterday with three different people who each had their birthday yesterday, September 8th. First was lunch with my dear, wonderful friend Diane. We have been friends well over twenty years. She is probably my closest confidante. We are best friends; our two sons, Chris and Steve, are best friends; Laurie and Diane's daughter Dee were best friends. Pretty awesome.

Later I celebrated Isaiah's third birthday with the Michel's. Probably the funniest moment was when I first got to the house, bringing in balloons, his cake and presents. As Katie and I assembled his scooter in the living room, Isaiah decided to examine his cake. Oops! It landed upside down on the kitchen floor. His comment was something like, "Well, this is not good." Dinner at a local Mexican restaurant with special sombrero and sparklers, capped his day.

And last I stopped at EagleWood Resort where I knew my co worker Elaine was staying with her family celebrating her son Eric's 36th birthday. The pic of me with Eric is dark but that's us. So how strange is that? Makes me wonder what goes on nine months earlier that I know three people with the same birthday. Hmmm?
