As she did every year, twenty-five years ago Kathleen made some plans, baked a cake and hosted a birthday party for her youngest daughter, Jennifer. These controlled riots featured games, laughs and girl talk. This one, based on the candle count, appears to be the 13th.Tomorrow, Jennifer will be hosting her own birthday party at "Jen and Joe's" in Hopkins. We're invited to attend and so are Joe's parents. Everything's different now, somehow.
One thing is the same, though. Mom's baking the birthday cake.
MMM.
