friends and neighbors

Dear Mary,

Happy Birthday to a very special person! I couldn't have asked for better friends and neighbors than you and Norm have been. You have been so kind and caring. Blake loved to come to your house before and after school. There were always fun things to do and good food to eat. Going to Little Falls to stay in a motel and to swim in the pool with the Schwisters was a great treat for Blake. You really filled a special need for Blake after his dad died. The Christmas cookie decorating was also great fun. Your kids have a somewhat twisted imagination when it comes to decorating cookies.

When I was recovering from surgery, you and Norm visited and literally brought hot soup. The drives to Northfield for the St. Olaf Christmas concert made great memories. Thanks for even being willing to try lutefisk. The memories of those concerts left a high for a long time afterwards. Then again, were you there the year that two Ole students, a guy and a girl, streaked the concert?

Best wishes to someone who has no equal,

Carol Rohrer
