My 53rd Birthday

Jun 19, 2017

Wow, can't believe I turned 53 today!  I started celebrating my birthday a few days ago, with a walk to the car show with my friend Nancy, and then shopping!  We had a blast, and saw some cool cars. 

The red Ford was my favorite (top pic), but I also really liked this blue one.

Today I went for supper with my parents, my first restaraunt meal since surgery.  I chose Swiss Chalet because I love their chicken, and they post their menu stats online, so I knew before going what to order.  I had the quarter chicken, garden salad, and low cal raspberry vinigarette dressing.  I also had the chalet dipping sauce with the chicken.  I was able to eat all of the chicken and a portion of the salad.  I gave my role and the rest of the salad to my Dad. My parents both had fries and I kind of wanted them too, but resisted.  I also had my first diet coke in over 9 months, but only drank a few sips.

Then, after dinner we stopped at my Uncle Buck's so we could bring him a take out meal.  THat way he got to enjoy my birthday dinner, even though he wasn't feeling well enough to join us.  He'll be 86 years old next week and it's hard for him to leave the house.

Then I met my friend Albert for a walk at Whitefish Island.  He knows how much I love the beavers at the beaver pond, and bought me a nice book about beavers.  It's a true story about a woman who found two baby beavers and raised them, and I'm looking forward to reading it.

It was quite late after our walk, about 10 PM, but my neighbor Lucille came over for cake and coffee.  I made a watermelon "cake"...a small watermelon cut into the shape of a cake, iced with lite cool whip.  It was yummy!

So, I had a nice day.  

Here are some photos showing the difference between last year's birthday, and this one.
