BIRTHDAY #58-A Beautiful Day!

A beautiful, balmy, nearly-perfect-in-every-way day!! The weather was so lovely. Just like I'd choose from a catalog, if that were possible. We walked on campus, got birthday powdered sugar donuts and opened cards, read scriptures, then got ready for the day. Dad was at work by 7--another busy week for him. Laundry was on the agenda, but also some planting -- radishes and flowers for out front in the assorted pots there. For a fun new thing, I made two strawberry pies. I had fun sampling the berries and filling as I was preparing. Pretty yummy! Did a little housework, and did banking when I took Megan to work.

My 38th birthday (with 20 years' experience)

Superlative sunset at Sunset

My current school/home project is preparing a WORD document of "important documents" and I made good progress on that. It will be something I can send to my students who are interested and they can copy the pages that apply to them, also edit if they need to. I'll fill out ours upon completion and keep it with the "important" things to grab in an emergency.

Hearing from loved ones was always welcome -- first Jenny, then Erin, then mom and Mary. Mail was nice, too. Cards from Diane Linn Young, Mary [a musical one], my mom, 3 brothers, and the Petersons.

After picking up dad, we got ready for our Subway Sunset Picnic--an almost annual event now. It was wonderful with the welcome clouds to add variety. A low ridge of them blocked the final descent, but it was a lovely scene until then. Darkness came quickly, the color show at post sunset will have to wait for another time...the sun and clouds had other plans, I guess.

One candle to represent all those years...in the strawberry pie, and it was yummy! I'll post a photo at a later time. Dad's little concert ended my evening of a very nice birthday. Grateful for all that occurred, and for all who are in my life. Here's to another year!!!!!
