We started our day with a 3 mile or so walk. First stop was a weigh-in for me, followed by breakfast out. Carl let it slip that it was my birthday and the waitress said in that case my meal was free! I still ordered from the senior menu, same food with smaller portions. And then, when I said I was too full for more, they gave me a bag to take home. There was a cinnamon roll inside. Dessert later.
After we got home there was time for some phone calls, a few errands and poof, the afternoon was gone.
A friend stopped by with some books for me, mostly to share. The book prominently displayed in front, Dr. Goat, was a favorite when I was young. This copy is in much better condition than the one I grew up with. I know we either had, or at least read, several other selections gifted to me. Little Red Hen, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and Three Bears, to name a few.
There are a few non-child books too, one of which I was ready to dig into right away. The Road to Wellville, by T.C. Boyle. Except I’m in the middle of a different book.
On the other side of the day, I found out that I share a day with Kim Kardashian. Not a name I want to be associated with. I prefer being associated with Dizzy Gillespie.
And now we are tracking several ball games; baseball, soccer, hockey, and college football. They are all overlapping and not all available on our TV. Among tracking the games, we’re also watching Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte.
Another year in the books. And I got to spend it with the people I love, so it has been a good year.

Happy Birthday! It sounds like a perfect day. Those were the senior portions?? That’s a lot although I do love eggs in any way shape or form. (except poached)

I know, but much closer to what I would choose to eat without feeling like an overstuffed chair.
