There are seventy years between the two dates above and today I am 70 years old. Hard for me to believe - where do the years go, anyway? I'm not much of a party gal, so I am spending my birthday quietly with Mary and Joe. Joe's birthday is tomorrow, but he has a half dozen years on me. It is nice to be here in my 'home away from home', I always feel welcome and loved. It has been a sort of lazy day and the weather is perfect. I'm so lucky.
This beautiful orchid is a gift from Mary and Joe. It is so unusual, I don't think I have seen one like this before. Not only an abundance of blossoms, but lots of buds of different sizes. I'm sure there will be blossoms for six months or more.
An additional gift, almost as wonderful....
Mary helped me hem the two new pair of slacks I bought Saturday at the outlets in Gilroy. If I stitch fast I'll have pair hemmed to wear home. I'm so lucky!
