Ann was home for the weekend, getting a ride up on Friday with someone she knows at school, returning with me on Sunday. That’s an advantage of school being only about two hours away. The occasion, her birthday.

On Saturday, we took her to a delightful Korean barbecue restaurant called Koreana. The sort of place where you cook your meat at your table.

Later at home — a few hours later, since a place like Koreana fills you right up — we had dark chocolate birthday pie.

Nineteen times around the Sun for Ann.
