Ok, I lied

I said I'd post pictures from our trip to the Washington Coast. Truth is, I didn't take any. I wanted to. I had my camera right with me. It was the sky that did not cooperate. Over the water there was a dense fog, and overhead were some low, thick, dark clouds. It never did rain, but it was just a dull color of gray outside. The water and sky were the same color. Not very pretty. We were a little disappointed that we didn't get a sunny weekend, but hey - it was a weekend away from home as well as some quality time together, so I can't complain.

Just so it's not a total loss, here are pictures of what it should have looked like.

Feeling Guilty

I know! I know! I'm a bad, bad blogger!! I have one in the hopper, but it requires a video which I can't get to load. I've been told it's too large. So sorry. We're heading out of town this weekend and I promise to post pics of the trip. We'll be visiting the Washington coast and staying overnight in Long Beach, WA. Until then....

Today, she's a my birthday too!!

Forty-five years ago today my mother gave birth to a beautiful 7 lb 8oz blue-eyed baby girl. She was the apple of her father's eye and the most beautiful thing her two big brothers had ever seen. Why, she was the darling of Van Nuys, California. People came from blocks around just to be in her presence.

Ok, ok. Enough of the fairy tale stuff. It's my birthday today. Happy birthday to me! I think we're going out for Mexican food tonight. My present was the bikes we got about 3 weeks ago. In fact, that was my husband's birthday present too, and his birthday isn't until September!

By the way, the line in the title is from an episode of I Love Lucy when they are in Italy and it's little Ricky's birthday. A little Italian boy tells Lucy "Hey! What do you know? Today, she's a MY birthday too!". Congrats to anyone who got the reference before I explained it.
