Happy Birthday!!!
If you were there - then this makes more sense... suffice to say that the young lady in this photo has some very sly Grandparents - who made certain that everyone on the dock knew just who needed a very public "Happy Birthday" - so I figure, Iīm just doing my part to keep that for posterity :)
