Happy Birthday Vivian

One of the hazards of having office assistants is that they can get into your stuff. And, since today is a very special day, Vivian’s office help has done just that – we’ve gotten into her stuff, and hijacked her blog to wish a very special birthday AND a happy anniversary to Vivian and her husband Sim! But this isn’t just any birthday/anniversary combination. This birthday, Vivian has been married half her life – quite an accomplishment.

A couple of weeks ago her kids decided to celebrate their mom’s birthday and their parents’ anniversary and make home-made ice cream — but wow! What homemade ice cream! Peanut butter! Chocolate! Mango! We’re making ourselves hungry, and we know there’s not ice cream like that available for miles – not since the “Inside Scoop” closed in Chapel Hill! A special cake had been ordered, and Vivian knew just where to get the perfect chocolate cake…..and more importantly, what to write on top. After much thought and gathering of advice from various friends and relatives, she chose “To my better half” to celebrate her marriage, her husband, and the fact that she’s been married half her life. We’re not giving away numbers here because we want to have a job next week – although honestly, if you ask Vivian, she’ll tell you. Or you can look at the picture and guess.

So – here’s to Crazy Viv – with all the fun, all the spontaneity, and all that outside the box zest you bring to our lives and the lives of others. Happy birthday, Vivian, and Happy Anniversary Vivian and Sim! May you have many, many more.
