Another Birthday

I worked my behind off yesterday. I know it was my birthday but I had a grocery order to pick up, boxes to unpack, kitchen cabinets to fill and dinner to cook. The Mister helped for a change and we had veggie fajitas in the new little electric skillet that I bought as a birthday gift to myself.  During the remodel I've been relying on my parent's ancient one and I bet that teflon coating is a health hazard so I traded it in on a newer, safer model. 

Before the grocery pick up we took Pup for a walk in the park across the street. We usually have the place to ourselves but it seems they are using it as a Covid testing site and it was packed. Yikes. Our county hospital put out a statement yesterday that they are filled at the moment with Covid patients and can't take anymore. Double yikes. 

After dinner all I wanted to do was curl up on the couch and take a nap but it was 60 degrees out and a prefect night to go see the lights so we did. 

The place is always lit up like crazy but my favorite is always the crab pot tree. 

It's hard to believe you can take a pile of crab pots and turn it into something so pretty.

Pup and The Mister got to pose on the pier. 

And........today is #1 Son's birthday. This is me 44 years ago at the surprise baby shower that my mom and my sisters threw for me. I was telling Daughter at her shower that at mine I had the flu with a fever and couldn't understand why my mom was insisting I come to her house for dinner when I felt so awful. 

It wasn't until I got all the gifts home that night and starting playing with all the baby things you see in that crib that I had the first inkling of what was to come. Oh to be that young and clueless again.
