Hi everyone!
My birthday is this Friday November 14th and I would like to invite all
of you to a party at my house. I live at 740 Westminster Ave, on the
corner of Westminster and Maryland. It says 'Raspberry Manor' on the
house. The party starts at 9 pm, but you can come anytime after that.
You don't have to bring anything, just yourselves! But do feel free to
bring husbands/wives/girlfriends/boyfriends.
see you then!
