Today is my birthday, so to celebrate instead of baking a cake, I painted a cake! It's been a lovely day so far...dear friends took me out to lunch, and more friends meeting me for dinner tonight. Very enjoyable! 46 years old. Wow. It's very strange being on this side of 50. But life continues to get better with each passing year, so hopefully I've got a lot to look forward to, and a lot of adventures ahead.
