Birthday Week

I had a fantastic birthday this week, all due to the my amazing friends and family. Brad was out of town over my birthday but my friends made sure I wasn't alone.

It started at lunch with this group. Kurk (the guy on the far left) has a December birthday too, so we celebrated. There was one more, but he is the one taking the picture.

Then that night my neighbor took me out, however, my memory card was full so no documentation but it was a lovely evening.

Then the next day we celebrated again. It was Clarisa's (the beautiful lady in the middle) birthday this month too so we celebrated. I met these dear friends in the first neighborhood Brad and I lived in, and I think it is safe to say we will remain friends for life.

So thank you to my dear friends and family who refused to let me be alone on (or around) my birthday; it was all wonderful!

As Mark Twain said, "Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."
