I had a birthday.
It was a good day. Will and the kids gave me a nerf six-shooter, a book on how to play the banjo by Pete Seeger, a set of stitch markers, and bat-earrings (if you say that out loud it sounds like batarangs). When Sam handed me the last box, he said, “Now, Mama. It’s Batman!” I said something like, “I’m sure Batman wouldn’t fit in here.” And yet!
We went downtown after breakfast. I got some supplies at Michael Levine (actually for a pirate flag for Sam, but I also grabbed myself some knitting needles), took the photo above when I hopped out of the car to grab french fries for a certain young lady, and then we all had lunch in Chinatown and played on the coin-op rides.
(We thought this one was a rocket, but it turned out to be Robby the Robot. We think.)
I had a really lovely party in the evening. No photos were taken, but much sangria was consumed and the food was (if I may say so myself) really excellent.
Sounds like a really nice birthday. And hey, you achieved your goal of living longer than Jesus, so WOOT!
Happy birthday! Cute photos.
Happy (slightly belated) birthday to you! I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.
p.s. you look GORGEOUS in that pic.
Happy belated Birthday!
And just what did you decide on for food?
The food had a Mediterranean theme! I made a Greek seven layer dip with hummus, tzatziki, cucumber, red onion, sundried tomatoes, kalamatas, feta, and toasted pine nuts (which is actually eight layers); Capunatina, which is a Sicilian eggplant and olive dish; caprese kebobs (cherry tomato and mozzarella ball wrapped with a basil leaf and skewered with a toothpick); fig and walnut ‘salame’; and my cake was an almond cake with fresh berries. I also put out some peppered salame and prosciutto as well as pita and crusty Italian bread.
Happy belated birthday!
