LOIS

My cousin Lois was 80 years old on September 3rd. We had a party for her at my cousin Connie's house on Sunday of labor day weekend. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too cool and a nice breeze. No one was able to go in the water but we had a nice day.

Lois lost her parents a while ago. She doesn't have any brothers or sisters and I am the closest thing to a sister she has and she is the same for me. Even though she is as old as my father. She is more like a friend/sister than a parent/grandparent. We hang out together, shop and chat on the fun like best friends. I have told her many of my deepest thoughts and feelings and I don't know what I would have done without her many many times throughout my life. She loves chatting it up with my daughter and learning about the latest trends and hearing all about my daughter's work in a big corporation. She has been a real estate broker for many years and for a while I held a real estate sales license under her. We have had many stories to tell about the various homes we have sold over the years. Her father and my father were brothers. Her father was the oldest of the 10 and my father was the youngest, so the span in their ages explains the reasons she is so much older than me. She still owns her own Town House, a beautiful place that she has decorated to make for a very comfortable place to live.

HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY LOIS
