| Okey dokey...I think I have finally figured out how to do this so that I don't screw up the website with photos.
And I apologize for the length of time it took me to finally get it done, but my classes have just about killed all my remaining brain cells
Anyway, I'll give the very, very condensed version so you can get to the pix asap.
When I was a kid, I wrote to Ben/"Kid Curry" faithfully every week - without fail. Almost each and every one of those letters contained some kind of "invitation" to some kind of event, no matter how small, up to and including spending my birthday, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas, etc with me and my family.
Well, Ben very nicely fended me off with sincere, apologetic and logical reasons why he couldn't make it. (And no, he did NOT answer every letter, just one every now and then.)
But I never gave up...
So my best friend Arte/Sue (yes, for those of you who don't already know, her nickname is Artemus from WWW- and I've been "Kid" for 42 years) well, she up and decided that this was the year "Kid Curry" was coming to dinner.
We had a "discussion" way back in October while doing yardwork and she remarked that maybe we should ask Ben's opinion on what to do since he had done so much landscaping on his place.
I snorted (yes, derisively) and said there was no way he'd ever come down to Burbank, that I'd been trying to get him to come for over 42 years...why would he change his mind now? And I explained what I just typed above about my letters and reminded her that although Ben and I have enjoyed many "adventures" through the years, coming to my home was not one of them. And that was that.
Or so I thought...
We had the usual gang get-together planned for my birthday celebration and my good friend Kevin was going to celebrate with me, since his is on the 7th and then I was told that our other friend, Melissa, who also had a birthday on the 12th, was going to be there, too. Sounded like fun. No reason to suspect a thing. Sigh.
Well, "Melissa" showed up and everyone yelled, "Helloooooooo, Melissa..." and I just about had a heart attack!!! It was a good thing I was already sitting down...It was a total shocking surprise when Ben walked through the door... I am pretty sure my heart still has not gone back down yet where it belongs, lol)
Despite all my brave attempts NOT to, I had tears running down my face and Ben had this stupid ear-to-ear splitting grin on HIS face, because he knew...HE KNEW, daggone him, what this meant to me. I remember when he laughed and said, "Well, I'm not Melissa, but I think I'll do????"
I managed to get to my feet and actually said to him (as I reached out to touch him, my brain needing actual, physical confirmation that it was real) "I can't believe that you're really here!"
To which he replied, "It doesn't get any more real!"
I did find enough courage to say to him (quietly under my breath) during dinner, "Well, Mister Curry, it's about time - took ya long enough!" Lucky for me, his sense of humor did not desert him and he found it amusing.
We was in very good spirits , was amusing and entertaining and enjoyed being entertained by the gang.
The whole point of all this is not to brag, but to remind you all not to EVER give up on those dreams, whatever they are. For me, even after all these years of being friends with Ben, this moment will always be right up there with meeting him face to face, for the very first time, waaaaay back in 1977.
As he left, I reminded him that payback is a pain...and HIS birthday was only a few weeks away (now only 5 days) and he'd just better beware
I have loaded a selection of photos onto "PHOTOBUCKET" so here is the link you need to access them. Browse and enjoy, and thank you for your patience

| Kid4ever, your photos are great! Thanks so much for posting them. You and Ben both look great! One thing, though: Is it possible to enlarge the images when looking at them? I couldn't find a way but it sure would be nice to see your pics in full-screen mode. In any case, what a wonderful birthday it must have been--better than any ol' fistful of diamonds, for sure! | |
