Dear Friends,
I had the best time on Saturday! My friend James hosted a pool party for my birthday. It was a total spellers’ party. There were ten of us spellers, including several in our thirties. Many of us were already friends with each other, but several also made new friends. It was perfect to hang out in the cool water surrounded by friends on a hot summer day.
Our families enjoyed it, too. The pizza was delicious, and my mom baked a fantastic cake that met the dietary restrictions of everyone. James and his parents were great hosts. And James was so proud to throw an awesome party!
I felt so loved and appreciated by all my friends. This was the first speller celebration of my birthday, where it was a big gathering of my speller friends. I got more cards than I ever have! And I got some really thoughtful gifts. It was my best birthday celebration!
My real birthday is tomorrow. I will be 39 years old. Wow! I am so proud of what I have done in a little over four years of my new life. I am so excited about the coming years!
Thank you for being part of my new life!
Your Friend,
Danny
P.S. I am not posting all our photos because I want to respect people’s privacy. We have many more great photos, but you will need to imagine them!
