Today is the birthday of my beloved niece, Sarah Gregga. Her daughter Isabelle would probably tell you that she is the ancient age of 34, but I won't do that.
When I think of Sarah, the first word that comes to mind is "artist". She is very creative and artistic, always involved in some kind of project that involves expressing herself creatively, whether it be decorating, planning a party, scrap booking, knitting, or even just dressing her girls. Whatever she does she does it with a flair for color and beauty. With Jason's help her biggest project so far has been the creation of two beautiful girls.
Sarah is a family person; she didn't like being stranded out there on the East Coast. So where does she move to? Only five houses down the block from her folks. Now that wouldn't work for everyone, but with a father/grandfather who is smitten with his girls and a mother who is her best friend I think Sarah is very happy with the arrangement.
Except in the winter.
Because January thru March her Dad's job pretty much comes to a standstill Rich and Patty are able to winter with me in Florida. And that leaves Sarah very lonely. Then she only has beautiful Isabelle, equally cute Sophia, her handsome and brilliant husband Jason and THE cat, Elliot.
I'm sorry, Sarah, but when you really get old you'll understand what spending winter in Florida means to aging joints, etc, Despite what Isabelle says you are still young and beautiful. And from what I can see a wonderful mother and homemaker...two of the hardest jobs in the world.
Oh, and did I say anything about witty? Sarah knows how to come up with a phrase or comment that hits the bulls eye and usually makes us laugh. And, of course, all that talent and beauty must come from the Westerwelle in her; well, at least the talent.
She is a very special woman that makes the space around her beautiful and fun to in. Happy Birthday, Sarah.

Oh boy - such kind kind words! Far too flattering. But I have learned (from you) to just say "thank you" and be grateful for the compliment. So, "Thank You!" and I am very grateful for the compliment as well as having you as an aunt. Much love.
