My sister Sue had us all over to her place in Tinton Falls, NJ, to celebrate Justin’s 17th birthday.

There was a threat of scary weather in the air, and a stiff breeze blowing outside, but inside all was good.

Justin turned 17 today (Sept. 9). He’s a senior in high school and thinking about what comes next for him—he’s sorting out his college options, both magical (California!!!) and realistic (not so far away).
