Memories of the 12-hr drives I had with my 6 siblings and parents to our annual "Granny's Lake" vacation in upper Michigan, every single year, from wherever we were in the midwest at the time...Happy Birthday, Peter! I had it marked on my calendar and failed to send you any kind of card....shame on me!! So glad to still be hearing about family adventures. My best to you and your beautiful family!!

Zola's comment about his boogers pretty well just made my night. Thanks for sharing! Glad you had a happy birthday, big (old) brother! Let's try to talk this next weekend, alright?

Glad you had a happy birthday, big (old) brother!

Let’s try to talk this next weekend, alright?

This is a blast from your past who happens to share your birthday! It's Linda Bracken (now Bowman) from Catonsville, MD! Not sure if you'll remember me, but I thought I would give it a try! Happy belated birthday! Kevin O'Dell (who was also born on June 7th) and I remember you each year on our birthday and wonder what you've been up to. Thanks to Mrs. Bagwell, I know what you've been up to this year! It's been a thrill to live vicariously through you and your family on all of your wonderful travels. It sounds like life is going very well and I couldn't be happier for you! I still live very happily in Catonsville with my wonderful husband and three stepchildren. My parents and my sister and her family are also in Catonsville. And, believe it or not, I'm still good friends with/keep in touch with a lot of people from junior high and high school (Kathy Castellano and Jimmy Burk (they got married 16 years ago!), Molly Bagwell, Julie Mitchell, Jenny DeLuca, Kevin O'Dell, Brian McFarland, Pam Mullinix, Freddy McHugh, John Kistler, Gayle Adamecz, Suzanne Meyer, etc. -- I think some of those names will be familiar!)! Best of luck to you and your precious family in New York! I truly hope you'll continue to write. You have quite a talent and it would be a shame for that to go to waste. Also, for what it's worth, I seriously think you should write a book from your travel blogs (and Zola's -- He's also an amazing writer!) Take care, Peter. It's been really neat catching up with you through this site, and I hope your life continues to be funny, interesting, and complicated!!! Hi, Peter!
