ReplyDeleteHappiest of birthdays, Cousin Blanche, and all best wishes for a wonderful new year.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure to have come to know you a little bit through Philip's writing, and through you, to know a little bit more about Ocracoke.
With warm thoughts on a chilly morning from Pittsburgh, PA.

So glad to have met you at the dinner on Monday. You looked radiant then also. Happy Birthday, and many, many more.

ReplyDeleteFrom our family in northern Maryland.
Happy Birthday, Blanche. Hope it's your best one ever.
ReplyDeleteThe highlight, highlights, actaully, since we visit her more than once each time we're on island, of our annual weeks on Ocracoke, is sitting on Blanche's porch observations about life and listening to all the stories of Ocracoke and the Howards over the years. A conversation with Blanche is like a journey into the island's soul.
ReplyDeleteSo Happy Birthday! And we're all very glad that you're "so well as to be about".
Happy Birthday Blanche!! Hope it is a wonderful day for you.

Blanche ... Philip has called you "an island treasure"--I couldn't agree more --it's people like you who make Ocracoke the wonderful place that it is. Enjoy this very special day.

Best wishes from Mike and Peg Chapman of Winchester, Virginia. We met you one evening when you were seeing some friends off on the ferry. We sat on a bench at the harbor and had a lovely visit. God bless you!
