Catherine's birthday today!

It's all quiet here on Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.   Jim and Laurie just pulled out going back to Madison and the stream of people from my party and party mess is cleaned up.   I am at peace --but with aching bones.  Before I completely die on the couch, I want to remember Catherine Wave Brown Bird's birthday today!   Daddy called her "Korea";  I called her "Catherina Bambina".   We kidded her about bearing the moniker of her aunt Wave.  Wave and Atlantic, great names for Aunts.  

Julie Hearnes, Catherine, and Mark Stacy were born about the same time and they were a triumvirate.  Julie was Queen, of course, and Catherine and Mark were "slaves in waiting".   And they all played the role they assigned to themselves.   Sometimes, when he was around, they allowed Bailey Jordan to enter their regal world but he was a "short-termer" because he was not a permanent fixture in the slave galley.

So happy birthday, Catherine!  And thanks for the memories of yesterday!
