Friday, June 06, 2003  A bit of self-promotion  Today's my birthday; I'm 28. I'm not having any getting-older crisis moments; I think those will come at 29 and 30. 28 just sort of...is. We did the official family celebration of my birthday last weekend in Delaware at my parents' house; tonight J.'s going to make dinner, and he bought strawberries and champagne. (Mmmmm...) My birthday's always involved strawberries; they're at the peak of the season right now, at least in this climate. My parents used to have a garden with a big strawberry patch—something like 100 feet long by 8 feet wide—and some of my fondest childhood memories are of being outside picking berries and eating them while they were still hot from the sun. (Mmmmm, again.) They only have a small garden now, and all I have are a few pots of unsuccessful tomato plants in my tiny concrete back "yard." Oh well; even the storebought berries are sweet, though never sweeter than the ones in my mind. [ at 12:03 PM • by Abby • permalink •   ]
