Today was my 85th birthday. How did I live so long? I am now older than my mother and both my grandmothers when they died. I find I am a little obsessed with this birthday and I just don't know why. Anyway it has been a good day and cooler than the last few weeks. I had lunch with friend Carol Bednar at our favorite lunch spot, Fitness Grill in Yorba Linda. It was quite comfortable in the patio and it wasn't crazy full. Pictures below. I have a beautiful mixed flower bouquet which is so tall I could only photograph it on the kitchen floor! Lovely soft colors and no lilies which are beautiful, but the fragrance is too much. Also picture below.
Grilled salmon sandwich with a sort of mixed salad with thumb sized tomatoes. It is no longer on the menu, however I like it so much they are willing to make it for me. These days I cannot eat the entire thing, so I have half left for tomorrow's breakfast.
And to top off the day, Dave, the mail carrier, sang 'Flying me to the moon'!! He has a very nice voice.
