Happy Birthday Somer

Well today is Somer's 63rd birthday!
Or as my mining partners wife asked me last night:
"So, how old is she?"
I responded, "Well if I am 22, then she must be 85!"
She dropped the phone she got to laughing so hard!

Tuesday was Kathy's birthday and Somer had sent her greetings.
I was very surprised!
They had only met once, back in 1981, I believe.
Somer flew down to Phoenix when I was developing small deposit of copper, associated with rare earth minerals.
So, we swung over to Tucson where my mining partner lived with his wife Kathy.
We had a great day, but I did not know they stayed in touch!

So, for this year, what do you give someone whom is independently wealthy?
Especially on my meager income levels,compared to her.
She likes rabbits, so I found her a 1940's rabbit egg cup, for soft boiled eggs;
A wooden carved salt and pepper set of rabbits;
A photo of St.Quitan, after the shelling in 1917 (we lived there for three years as kids);
And a dozen recipe pamphlets from 1909 to 1928 put out by brand names of the day!

She ought to get a kick out of them, else sell them in one of her antique shops!

Though we fought like cats and dogs as children,
There is no doiubt she is still my best friend.
Which is probably as it should be ...
