It was Norma's 80th birthday and so we packed the car
and Ben got ready
as Suzanne's car pulled out of the way
so that Ben and Jane could board
for the ride to parking at Philly airport
were we watched tv in the waiting area
before matching hands
which amused Suzanne
so we did more hand matching
and then recorded the other hands
before boarding for this elegant meal
as Ben
Suzanne
and Jane
got off the plane and we saw the Pittsburgh super heroes
and posed Ben with them
and noted Heinz Ketchup
before Ben, Suzanne and Jane posed as a group
and then Ben
Suzanne
and Jane posed individually
before I took this self portrait
and we met Andrew Sedgewick in the rental car area
before going to space F10
and getting our PT cruiser
of this license plate
and beginning the journey to the Residence Inn where we were greeted
and given keys to our room
where there was popcorn
waiting to be popped
to accompany the newspaper
as Suzanne read
and we checked out the bed
and had the last vegetables
as Jane
and Sarah settled in
and we made Ben's bed for the night.
Saturday morning, I awoke and looked at the snow
while Suzanne
and Ben enjoyed their beds
and Ben watched this cartoon
as I took these self portraits
and noted that the weather forecast was gruesome
so we woke up Jane
and admired the new toothpaste (the original had been confiscated by the airport police).
Jane and Sarah slowly rose
so that Suzanne and Jane
and Sarah
and Ben
could be part of the pilgrimage to breakfast
where the waffle batter
cold foods,
and hot foods
were ready so that we could assemble our plates

At this point, we returned to our hotel and on the way back, we passed the Wellington
which has a fallout shelter
and then we entered the party and saw Chaim Snyder
and Adele Sternberg
as Andy made Jane laugh
and Andy and Katy posed
as did Ben and Jane
and Bobby Sauro
before Jane posed with Debbie Strauss
and then Debbie, Katy and Jane posed

while Byron and Myrtis sat with Norma
and Andy and Debbie
and Robert Levin
and Danny Gespass
and Bobby's friend
and Marilyn and Jim Davis all posed
but the chocolate fountain
and the strawberries
that could be dipped int he chocolate fountain
to make Jane this dessert were the attraction
as I spoke with Thelma Snyder
and the champagne fountain didn't work
as Thelma and Vera Poster spoke
as did Kim and Norma
while Bobby Sauro made his way through the balloons
and Andy and Sarah
and then Sarah
and Ann Levin and Andy
and Andy, Ann and Jane
and Bobby
and Byron, Myrtis and Adele
and Andy and Georgia
all were captured on film before a few more shots
led to this family photo on the couch
and then the five of us posed with Norma
before Byron and Myrtis and Norma posed
before Sarah and Ben
and Sarah, Ben and Jane
posed and showed off their shirt backs.
The chocolate fountain was still going
when the cakes emerged
as Ben
was amused by the musician
and Katy and Jane
and Ben
watched as Norma gathered before the cake
and greetings were sung
as Norma enjoyed the cake cutting
which Bob recorded
Andy enjoyed
and Earl watched
before we adjourned to watch the video
and Debbie, Danny and Andy posed
as did Earl, Georgia, Maxine and Debbie
Suzanne and Byron
before Kim served up some cake
as ribbons flew
and the crowd on the couch
watched as Debbie, Georgia, Jane, Sarah and Ben watched Norma watch the photos
before Suzanne and Norma
watched this
as Jane, Ben and I took this self portrait
and the assembled remained on the couch

The next morning, I once again woke to snow outside
a cold weather forecast inside
and a sleeping family
who had to be roused for this breakfast
