From the Birthday Bash

Here we are on the street with my camera tied to a stair post so we could take a self timer shot. We had asked a fellow guest at the restaurant to take a photo of us. He took three...but they were apparently invisible! People don't remember how to use a "real" camera any more.

This looks like quite a hard drinker! Can't even put the drink down to take a photo. Actually the glass was in the way for the photo opportunity across the table!

Another Year Older

Yesterday was my birthday.  Like New Year’s Day, a birthday makes me reflect on the past year and the coming year.  I saw a blog trend a few years ago to set goals to achieve before the next birthday such as “27 things I want to do before my 28^th birthday.”  (That’s a much shorter list in one’s 20’s than at my age!)  Some of these goals are simple like read a book…while others take more effort like learn Spanish. 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an example of someone finishing every one of the items on her list.  It is, perhaps, the effort that counts and that the achievements are worthy even if the entire list was not completed. I’m going to have to think about this a little more but I suppose I should put “finding a job or a way to make a living” at the top of the list.

A Birthday Dinner

Friday night the scrapbookers went to dinner at East of Eighth to celebrate Arlene's birthday and my birthday.

I had a nice filet mignon with onion rings, escarole and white beans.  Good stuff.

 

 Followed by the birthday brownie sundae.  Even better stuff.

 



Louise brought interesting flowers.  There were cards and rubber stamps too.  Cecilia tucked a small ceramic spoon in her card.  It brought us minutes of fun thinking up uses for the spoon!
