Last time I filled you in on what I was doing for my birthday party! We had dancing and singing and all the girls were so talented! We had dinner (with lemon cake and pink meringue frosting) and then danced more.

Patti was my teen foster daughter, and I loved being her mom because I got to fix after-school snacks, buy teacher gifts, shop for earrings, plan parties, and listen to the early girl rappers. I also got to help Patti with her homework . . .
