Even though my parents are out of town today, they were sure to greet me on my birthday.
Not only that-- they were the first ones I heard from: at 5:20 in the morning!
they know i'm an early riser...and
how cool is that? i love that about them -- they
stayed up late in their time zone to be sure to wish me a great day....
----------------------------
[i hope that today brings back memories for them about the day I was born. I heard it was a rainy day, friday the 13th...and I couldn't wait to get out..so I was born at the doctor's office instead of the hospital! ]
----------------------------
.......mom asked, what are you doing today? so , here's the 411....
after a long trafficy one hour ride home from work, i was greeted with smiles and a special home made meal including my sister's signature salad (i love her salads) with spinach, red onions, slivered almonds, pear slices, and vidalia onion vinagrette.
...my dear husband took on the task of making my favorite non dairy dishes including alfredo-style pasta, a streusel layered coffee cake, and fresh baked bread while caring for our sick little boy today.
what a blessing that my sister joined us

here's the four of us. i'm wearing the kids' puppy caps, 
Thank you friends for your thoughts, words and calls on my birthday. they each brought me a smile and i pondered "where did the time go?"... i went down memory lane remembering how and who i'd spend past birthdays with (theirs or mine)...my 18th at Corvette's diner eating a ruby burger...my 21st at a Comedy Club in downtown La Jolla, seated front row center and being included in the comedian's routine...my twenty-something seeing the musical Cats and eating out at Prego ristorante.....
