The Birthday Boy...

Mary Ella and Matt, 1985

The utterly exhausted mother, staring blankly ahead at the

TV she was too tired to even turn on.  The newborn son,

 now several weeks old, as content as they come, already

 dreaming of Titleist golf  balls arcing majestically onto

 the green, baby bottles full of National Bo, and his next

 jar of Gerber creamed oysters.

Ahhh...those halcyon days of babydom/young motherhood --

well worth looking back on and cherishing on this of all days. 

Happy Birthday Matty!
