On Sunday, the day after the funeral, we had a much happier event to attend... a birthday party for my friend Irma. Irma turned 94, and her son John and his wife Glenda held a party for her at their home in Berea, Ohio.
Over the years, Irma has appeared numerous times on this blog. I have known her since 1970 when I began my studies at Baldwin Wallace College in Berea. Irma was the wife of one of my Spanish professors, and she would frequently invite the Spanish students to their home for get togethers. Irma was born and raised in the city of Jalapa, the capital of the Mexican state of Veracruz. You might recall that a couple of times we traveled to Jalapa when she was there visiting family.
We were so happy that the birthday party happened to coincide with our time here in Ohio.
¡Feliz cumpleaños, Irma!
