Today was my birthday. Hooray for me. It was my niece's birthday, too. Hooray for her.

It was a lovely day. I had friends stop by to wish me well and bring me fun prizes, cards and treats--one is a chocolate treat and one was a darling peach cobbler kit so they will have to be tucked away for sometimes when I decide that I might eat some sugar. Phil looked longingly at the peach cobbler and said, "I'm not off sugar." Too bad for him, the cobbler is not being made without me having a bite.

This afternoon we went to Gilmore Girls and The Mighty Hunter's house for a family dinner. She fixed Shrimp fettuccini , which was fabulous. He grilled fresh--picked an hour before dinner--asparagus which was double fabulous. I will post the recipes one of these days on my cookbook site. She sent us home with a huge container of the fettuccini . I won't have to fix dinner tomorrow. Yum.

I am worn out with all the frivolities of the day so I will post a few pictures I have from last week when three of the grandkids were here. My grandchildren are my gratitude babies. I love them all so much.


Curly Sue and Mary Poppins. We actually had ONE DAY that was warm enough to play in the sprinklers.

Tuesday, casually driving.

And if you don't want to drive then fill the
luggage compartment with water and sit in it.



THE END.

Happy Birthday, I'm sorry I didn't know. Peach cobbler sounds like a great birthday treat, I'll have to suggest that sometime. Cute little granddaughters.
