Bethany, I hope you have a great, Malian (sp?) styled birthday. Wow, a quarter of a century! It may be a silver celebration, but you are even better than gold to us, with all the good things you are doing to make this world a better place.
Have fun and I hope many wonderful birthdays will follow.
*will also drink tonight to celebrate you birthday *
I had a very nice birthday. Did a lot of work and running around town on errands, but then in the afternoon I had some time to myself, so I made brownies. My parents called to wish me a happy birthday. Then my boyfriend showed up with a cake that said "Bonne Anniversaire Bethany!" awww. We went out to the restaurant where I sometimes help cook/create new ideas. The staff is like family for me and they will do anything I ask. Up to and including putting U2 on the soundsystem while we had supper. Most of my Peace Corps friends from Bamako were there as well as others. We handed out cake and brownies to some adorable kids that were sitting in the table near us. All in all, a very nice day.
