Happy Birthday Joy!!


Joy is the one in the middle in dark glasses.  You almost have to have lived with her - as I did for two years - to understand how ubiquitous those glasses are.  Joy wore contact lenses but was always too tired to keep them in long.  And she didn't have regular glasses - so she was always wearing her prescription sunglasses!!

(During high school, she was forever losing a contact - once in a swimming pool - and we actually found it!!)

Maybe you have to take my word for it, but this photo just captures a moment in time that was a great, happy time - one I treasure.

And I treasure the friendship we share - and want to wish her a very happy day!!

Here's to birthdays, and friendship, and late-night clowning in the dorms!!

Dan said (after we were with you and Harry in St. George on Thursday, Aug.1st)"Barbara certainly knows you(me)inside and out." Actually you even jogged my memory about things I'd forgotten---concerning my personal eccentric behaviors and vanities. Speaking of vanity, please, please, pretty please post a better photo of you and me as the one you have pictured only reinforces my instructional and compulsive behavior regarding how to use a cell phone camera!

I can think of sooooo many things I wanted to ask you and talk about when we were together. Oh that time was far too short but I'm grateful we were not ships passing in the night as I'd feared might be the case.
