On Sat I worked, as usual. My colleague and friend Dawn gave me this adorable coffee mug for my birthday, since neither of us would be in the office on Sun, my actual birthday. Its perfect!
Sun morning we had my birthday breakfast at the Crystal restaurant, with Steven & Thad and Joe P. Our favorite waiter got everyone's attention in the crowded restaurant and encouraged them to sing 'Happy birthday' to me, and I was presented with a pancake with a face drawn on it with whipped cream, and 2 blueberries as eyes. We ate and talked and laughed.
Sun afternoon was quiet at our house. Spouse came down with a cold on Fri and wasn't feeling very good by Sun afternoon, so he took a huge nap while I read blogs, surfed the internet, and set up our 4' Christmas tree.
Sun night Spouse & I went to Dos Locos with Steven & Thad and Joe P for my birthday dinner. As usual, our food was delicious and we ate and talked and laughed even more. After dinner we went to Steven & Thad's house for birthday cake and coffee.
Spouse & I don't give each other birthday presents anymore. After this many years, we have everything we need and most of what we want. When there's something special we want, we usually don't wait for a birthday to get it for ourselves or each other. For our 50th birthdays we gave each other trips.
All in all, it was a nice, low-key birthday.
