“What do you want to do for your birthday?” he asked over breakfast last week.
Sipping my tea, I thought for a minute. “I think we should have a really big blow out.”
And then we laughed.
For two reasons:
1) There’s still a pandemic, after all, and
2) We aren’t usually blow-out kind of people.
So, I came up with a few ideas, discarded them, and then settled on one this morning.
No, it’s not an ‘80s dance party. Here’s a hint…
And another…
And a few details…
A Rose of Sharon, the only bloom I saw.
My birthday bash was a hike through a local nature center. Our dog loved it and so did we.
All of this beauty before 10 am. Then lunch outside a brand new restaurant and some chocolate too. Happy Birthday to me!
What’s your favorite thing to do for your birthday?
