Birthday Experience

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today started with the perfect cup of coffee and a snack bite of a breakfast sandwich. Shortly after,  I took a quick shower and got dressed. My brother called and I got to talk to my niece and hear all the wonderful things she wants to do when I bring my kids to visit. Of course I couldn't tell her it wouldn't be real soon, unfortunately.

Then Laura and I went to pick up Alyssa at her friend Libby's. The two of them baked me a cake. Very thoughtful and I would soon realize it to be delicious too!

The four of us went to meet Donna (Laura's mom), Lacey and J.D.for a Sunday Brunch. The meal was good, the company was better. They all gave me nice cards and gifts. All things that were on my Wish List, so naturally I love them all!

After brunch, we all came back to the house for cake and singing...

Just before the singing and cutting the cake, my sister called. She recently moved back to the Bay area and was getting ready to spend the day with her mom. It was nice to catch up a little.

The remainder of the afternoon I took advantage of doing nothing. I  enjoyed the comfort of my recliner and reading a lot of Facebook posts. I was also reminded how many people I know that also were born on this day at varying times before and after me.

As the day seemed to be winding down, Laura reminded me that we hadn't decided on dinner plans and she had another idea she wanted to run by me. 

Sure, twist my arm, force me to go eat, and let's really torture me and make it sushi!!!!!

We each ordered a roll and then we ordered the Special Roll on the whiteboard. It is called the New York Strip Roll. This roll has an incredible array of flavors, favoring on the spicy side. The perfect meal for a birthday dinner.

While I was enjoying dinner with Laura, my kids called. This was what I needed to complete the "Birthday Experience." 

Now I am back home watching the race from my recliner.

  that's the Brick Way...
