Another year older!
Oct. 21st, 2015 11:54 amThe birthday this year is stretching for nearly a week.
It began last Friday, with my pick-up from work which featured a passenger seat full of balloons (the Angel spent at least an hour blowing them up) and a small boy excitedly singing Happy Birthday.
Saturday featured gelato from my favorite place, and lunch out with my parents, at an Indian buffet.
Sunday I got to sleep in (highly unusual at this point in my life) and amazing breakfast cooked by the Angel, who in addition to making his delicious eggs also made bacon and blueberry muffins. Later there were birthday cupcakes with candles that resemble Legos.
Monday featured more Gelato Fiasco gelato and tasty pasta.
Thursday the Lego sets I ordered will arrive, and I will get to start building another addition on my winter holiday village, this time the Toy Shop.
And the leaves are in stunning full color!

Being Thankful
Nov. 2nd, 2009 07:23 pmI am stealing a meme-like idea from Lissa, and posting a thing I am thankful for each day from now til Thanksgiving.
Since I missed November 1, yesterday I was thankful for books and the ability to escape from my current stresses.
Today, I am thankful for fall leaves - we still have a few patches of color left.
Lissa was grateful for the sun. I am reminded of the big difference between living in Maine and living in New York. The winters here are not all that colder, or much snowier, but they are darker.
Got out of work today to darkness. The sky was indigo, the sun was down. Ah, sunset at 4:30 - Daylight Savings Time ending is a really abrupt thing.
On the other hand, the sun was up not too long after 6:00 AM, making it easier ot get up in the morning.
