Falling at Fifty

Playing Twister at my birthday party. (I'm the one on my back, on the floor.)

When I was young, I wanted to be dark and mysterious, but I like the silly person I am in this photo and choose it as a portrait of Fresca at Fifty.

 
P.S. April 2017: Just want to note, seven years later, that Kathy Moran is here---bending over top right, silver hair. So sad--she died this past December 2016.

Yay first comment! :D

That looks like a great party - again, I wish I could have been there! And I'll have to find our old Twister game and force everyone to play next time we're seeing C's old gang of student friends.

hey, silly and open is way more interesting than dark and mysterious. more fun too.

I spent my 50th (2 years ago) at a 3 day bluegrass concert called Rockygrass. music and camping and splashing water and bright blue skies.

Thanks, all.

MANFRED: It's the 15th birthday party I wish I'd had!

Ah, happy birthday! What a bittersweet mix reading these three posts all at once. I hope the Twister and Sputnik win out for you, but you do capture the whistle of the scythe so well!

EMMA: Twister and Sputnik won out to set the mood of this spring, I'm pleased (and relieved) to say;
but yeah, that whistle...
