Friendship is a Gift

In which I present a photo diary

Hi Coven,

On Monday June 9^th I turned 40 years old. My best friends (minus a few who couldn’t make it) gathered with me in Mexico to celebrate. I brought my Nikon F3 and a few rolls of film. I also brought a bunch of slutty (laudative) dresses.

Here is my visual diary on becoming 40:

We spent most of our time at the beach, talking.

But we also went to the pool. And floated.

Kim brought A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn, inadvertently likening herself to Timothée Chalamet in Lady Bird (funny, but pejorative).

Some drank Piña Coladas and Miami Vices. Some drank margaritas. I drank the former.

Everyone wore leopard print at least once in my honor.

There are no leopards in Mexico, but there are iguanas. I loved them.

It stormed only twice. Brief, heavy downpours of fat raindrops and wind.
