I celebrated another darned birthday in April and it was so-ooo meaningful, like let the bells ring out! I used to think of birthdays as something to look forward to, like birthday cake and gifts. But now that old age has descended upon me most ungracefully, I think the fact that the date rolls around every year whether you like it or not is for the birds – and even they don’t want it. On the other hand, if that date don’t roll around every year, the circumstances are really not to my liking either.
Two days of sunshine in a row - I think it’s time to do some serious gardening. I do have some healthy looking pea plants up and growing.
A granddaughter and I had a bake day in my hacienda last week and made a big pan of lemon squares and one of fudge brownies; we had a lot of fun in the process. I wonder why my clothes are fitting more than a little tight this week.
Friend Kiki has a wicked little grin on her face at times. She knows she’s winning that particular game of crib and she wins often. I’m highly suspicious - I think she stacks the deck!
