Birthday to New Jersey

For my 50th birthday, I strapped on a backpack and headed to Italy. On the next one, I pulled the buckles with a tandem jumper and hopped out of an airplane. At 52, I saddled myself with a new house and a mortgage.

Today on 53, I pulled up a mask, and I’m headed home to New Jersey to see family and touch the soil that raised my momma. I love you all!
