It's my birthday, and I was remembering parties past. The birthday I remember best, was my seventh. A Woody the Woodpecker movie, tissue paper - wet with ice cream, halloween costumes (there were a lot of batmans), and the white elastic cords on those fashionable, B'day hats. My mother, of course, took lots of snapshots -- I wonder how much of this memory comes from the party and how much comes from seeing the photos in the family album.
