Happy Birthday

Jose Carlos and Marcia invited us to eat with them tonight to "celebrate" their daughter's birthday. Susana turned 19 today. It wasn't much of a "party" in the usual sense of the word. Besides us, the only other guest was Emerson, a Brazilian friend and fellow brother in Christ, whose family is in Brazil. Well, Rui, Susana's boyfriend, was also there, of course, but he hardly counts as a guest around there, any more.

But it was a festive time in the sense of being with friends...and Marcia fixed more food than was necessary, of course. And there was cake and there were candles. In the photo, Emerson and Rui are sitting beside Susana, and as the other picture shows, Marcia continues very upbeat and in good spirits.
