Yesterday was my birthday, and as I was rummaging through some boxes, I came across this, in some of my Dad's stuff. Geez Louise, what a sentimental guy he was, although he'd never want anyone to know it. The little wristband barely fits around my thumb. Look how happy my Mom looks. My Mom passed away 13 years ago, and my Dad just over 2, and I still haven't gone through their things...it's still really hard, so it was sort of strange that I found my birth announcement on my actual birthday!
I had an excellent birthday, started out with a visit to my dentist. Now, that doesn't sound like an auspicious start to any day, never mind a birthday, but he is young and cute and called me beautiful. Well, to be honest, he said that my gums were beautiful, but at my age, I'll take any compliment and run with it.
I received lots of cards, both via Facebook, email and snail mail, as well as phone calls and a lunch with a friend (the BEST coconut-lemon noodles EVER,) and supper with a friend who came up from the States for the evening, and we treated ourselves to a very special dinner..wild salmon with ginger-cranberry sauce, vegetable risotto and creme brule for desert. Plus it was my day off, so, all in all, a wonderful day.
