I had a very nice birthday on the 8th. First I slept in til about nine.( After dropping Chris off at school. It was my normal day off. I dinked around on the puter for a while. Decided to go see a movie. Saw "Marley and Me". I highly reccommend it. Bring tissues is all Ima gonna say. Anyway. I got a Txt msg while at the movies from a friend at work saying Happy B'day. After the movie I walked around the Harbour in Rockwall. Went to Stone Cold Creamery for a birthday ice cream. So much for my resolution to lose weight. But hey it's my birthday. I got the coffee lovers delight minus the almonds. It was coffee ice cream with caramel and Heath bar pieces mixed in. Yummy. A little later I treated myself to late lunch at Chik-fil-A. Went to Lowe's and bought new tile for the bathrooms ,again, (I didn't like the ones I bought last month, too dark, Still don't have them down yet. Maybe tomorrow) Picked Chris up from school. Worked in the yard a bit. It was 75 degrees that day. The Monday before we had 33-38 degrees and rain that iced on the trees. Oh Well , at least I had nice weather on my birthday.
I received three text messages and one phone call from friends saying Happy Birthday. My husband and son both forgot. I was hurt. Finally about 7pm, after I dropped a hint they realized it and took me out to dinner at the Olive Garden. It was good, I haven't eaten there in years. I had the Seafood Portofino. It was magnifico. ( I always go for the seafood.) Then for dessert I had Teramisu (not sure if that is how you spell it) it was really good. Came home and had a message from my sister Gretchen, so I called her back and talked for over an hour. It was great. So it was a good day overall.
The boys put a reminder in their cell phone calendars for next year so they don't forget. Friday when I got home from work Chris gave me a dozen beautiful pink roses he bought with his own money and a card that said "I'm sorry" How sweet. I know he felt really, really bad. I wish I had taken a picture of them before they wilted. They lasted well over a week though.
Today I got some really old pics from my brother. I am going to put a few up here. The profile pic is my grandparents, I think on their anniversary. The ones below are the family at Banna and Papa's 50th wedding anniversary. I am the bowlegged little blond in front. Next is a Summer family reunion around 1957. Again the little chubby blond in front.
Then my sister and cousin with a friend at the beach. and finally my Mom and Dad.
Well, I will have to keep up this blog a little better.
More later.
