Helma’s not big on celebrating her own birthday (in February), but she does celebrate Hermann’s, which is only five days after David’s. Hermann would’ve turned 87 years old on June 4, and if he were still alive he’d probably be pointing out Helma’s more ‘youthful’ qualities such as launching cherry pits from her mouth as if they were torpedoes. Of course! Who wants to grow old, anyway?
Even after the silliness, I wouldn’t stop taking photos, so here are some mid-laughter ones and more Helma faces:
