Because my best friend in high school, Kim Erskine, was born on this day, just 40 years ago. The picture above was taken at my house before our Junior/Senior Prom. She and her date, and my date and I all met for pictures before leaving for the evening. That picture is so like her. It always makes me smile. She was such a good friend to me.
Anyway, she and I celebrated her birthday many times on the Kanawha River (in West Virginia) while watching the fireworks. She used to say the whole country celebrated her birthday. Oh, how I miss her! She had a great sense of humor and we had some great times together. So, where ever you are, Kim Erskine, I hope this day is a great one for you! Happy Birthday. I miss you friend and I love you dearly. God be with you!
Just a few more shots for good measure. . .
Here we are in the van getting ready to leave for a youth beach trip. Aren't those sunglasses hot?! And yes, we are both sportin' a mullet. . .ahhhh, the 80s.

She's a sweety. Sure would be good to hear from her again. Love you :) Sarah
By the way....good thing you got to see the fireworks as a child with her. The only time I ever actually got to see fireworks growing up was the two times I was with someone else....we were always "looking for the perfect place" and we could hear them going off in the distance :) I guess half the fun was in the search....or at least that's what I tell myself. :) Loved it.
