It was Peter Kramer's 60th birthday, so we drove into Philadelphia for the celebration and were met by Josh
and Renee talking to Judy Leopold
as Suzanne spoke with Alison as we waited for the guests of honor to arrive.
the anticipation of which excited Rory
and Mike Leopold and Judy Levine
as Rory stood with the hostesses
and Josh with Renee
while the guest of honor arrived and was a bit stunned
though the assembled were very happy to warmly welcome and toast him.
Lindsay arrived
and Peter spoke with Suzanne
as Josh and Renee
were joined by Peter for a photo
and the discussions elsewhere in the room
did not prevent a second photo of Peter, Josh and Renee
or a closeup of Renee's cast
or even a picture of Neil Lewis with Renee and Josh.
Seva welcomed all of us
as I looked out at my setting of wine glasses
and food
and the master of ceremonies told me what would happen
while my bread sat by
and Suzanne paid close attention (even took notes)
as the food
lifted Peter's spirits
or maybe it was this wine
and the foods that specifically went with it
including the cherry piece.
Whatever the case, Peter paid careful attention
as the class went on
and more cheese
and more wine
kept Peter engaged
as another course
led us to Lindsay and the Justs
Rory
and Peter
noting the new cheese
and pear slices
as Peter tasted
while there was a consultation at the Just bench
and the next round
amused Suzanne
and the Leopolds
as the others in the room were captured
including the Lewis' in the back
and Josh with the crowd behind him
all of which made Seva and Peter
wonder about the next pairing , not to mention the wonderfully realistic M&M's
before Seva thanked us all for coming
as did Peter
and then Seva gave further instructions
as Peter received his host gift
which seemed to amuse the Politziners
as the crowd got ready to move forward
but not before Peter showed off the wonderful M&M's with his likeness on them.
Our next stop was at Rory's apartment where guests gathered
desserts were served
and the birthday cake emerged
to much singing.
After some more chatting in and around the living room,
|
I took this self portrait
watched a few others converse
recorded Seva, Judy and Nancy in the kitchen
Peter, Mike and Bob
and David and Neil int he living room
and Alison and Sara in the bedroom
before my picture was taken and we headed back tot eh car.
On the way to the car we saw this wonderful bath tub
which captured Suzanne's attention
and then Suzanne and Sara posed at the garage sign
after which, we posed with the Justs
and then Steven and Suzanne posed with the garage man and we knew that we could head home after a wonderful celebration of Peter's birthday.
