Fifty Years Ago.
.
..I was three. and had a party at my grandparents’ house in Alabama.

I never noticed the camellia’s around the cake until this morning. My grandmother had huge camellia bushes at the front of the house. I’m guessing they bloomed all winter.
Charlie and I have a busy day planned and then Katie’s making a pizza party. Sounds like a perfect 53rd birthday, don’t you think?
