8月4日，星期天。

中午,我的女友Tanya在家中为女友Lily Liu及另一位女友Laura Li举办了庆祝生日的聚餐会，如此诚挚的友情多么温馨感人。当天，一众熟人朋友应邀前往同贺。

前不久Tanya发来邮件说：

Hi all,
I am going to have birthday party for Lily Liu & Laura Li in my house on Sunday 08/04/2013.

The party is starting @1:00 pm -- come for lunch! I will have cook-out, snack, drinks, ice cream & birthday cake and more. There will be enough for every one. You can bring anything you like to share.

 
4th of Aug. is big day for Lily Liu. She is turning 50! -- for the old days, we said 40 is new beginning for women. Today, we say, 50 is new beginning for women!

Think some JOKE for her and make her day to remember. Remind me to take pictures. Let us give her lot of FUN for her New Beginning. Bring your friends, family & your kids. Let us PARTY!!!

I would also like to celebrate with those who have birthday in July & Aug. I may well miss some names here. Bring anyone who are their friends or just your friends.
 
Please reply before 08/03 so that I know how many of you are coming.
 
Parking: Try to park 2 cars per row on my driveway. You can also park on Preserve Parkway.
 
See you.
Tanya
