Birthday Girl

Sunday was Aunt Jo's birthday. We brought her over from her home to mom's house, and Les & Dorrie came over, along with Earl. J cooked the most delicious grilled fish and chicken, and accompanied them with risotto, salad, Okinawan sweet potatoes and pineapple salsa.

For years, Rose, from the vet's office where I used to work, joked that she felt like she was eighty-eight years old. Well, today, Aunt Jo staked a legitimate claim.

Birthday Drive

Yesterday was Marty's birthday. Since I had to work, we decided to celebrate today. We planned to visit the Gekkeikan Sake Brewery in Folsom but it was closed. We stopped at Negro Bar to see the state recreation area and liked it so well I'd like to go there for my birthday in July. We could go rafting or kayaking, barbecue lunch, lie in the sun, feed the geese, ride bikes on the trails ... spend the day in the outdoors for a change.
