Birthday and Things
Today I turn 45. Half way to 90. Guess there is no way to try to logic that I am not middle age anymore, cuz I sure don’t expect to make it to 100!
It has been a good day. For the first time since I can recall, virtually everyone sent me a card or gift on or before my birthday, so there was a happy little pile of goodies to open this morning. From Joe, there was a beautful necklace and matching earrings and a tartan purse I had been drooling over in a Celtic themed catalog we recieved. Megan found me a two disk CD collection of Celtic Christmas music and Becca got me the DVD of Golden Compass, a book and movie I dearly love.
Mom sent a very cool book on retro aprons (I love all retro kitchen goodies), a needlework in blue and white for the kitchen and and a cool vintage decorative plate. From my sister Beth, a vintage style apron with embroidered teacups and from my other sister, a gift card or Kolh’s. And finally, at work, I was gifted with a gift card for the bookstore! Wow!
For dinner, Joe made his fantastic homemade spaghetti sauce. So it was a good day.
This weekend, after Thanksgiving, Joe and I went to Julian to just relax for a few days. The weather was picture perfect. Our room had a two-sided fireplace and I soaked in the whirlpool tub while enjoy the fire. We had wonderful meals by their cook, and enjoyed a crystal clear display of the moon, Venus and Jupiter, in their rare configuration.
And did I mention the sunsets were spectacular?
In town, we learned the little used book shop had a new shop kitty (as unfortunately,the previous one had recently passed on from old age.) They held a contest to name her, and she was dubbed “Page”. I had to take about 6 pictures before I got on that wasn’t a grey blur!
Her mother, lives at the nearby garden shop and have the good life. Mom is now neutered however.
I love her markings, not at all like Page. Doesn’t she have a wonderful face? Page does have one brown area, on the bottom of her back, left foot is a streak of her mother’s brown.
It was a very good weeknd. I read, did needlework, cuddled with Joe and slept in as late as I wanted!
Hope you are all well, and things are as good for you, as they are for me.

Happy Birthday! I am so glad that you liked the apron. Mom told me what your postman did. No Christmas cookies for him! I miss you a lot!
I am so happy you had such a nice birthday.
Hugs, Mom
We used to have a cat like the momma cat. Her name was Peaches.
Happy Birthday a wee bit late.
Sounds like you had a good day and that’s what birthday’s are supposed to be, right? I will be joining you in the half way to 90 thing in a few months. Goody. 
Ah well. Beats the alternative, I suppose. 
Page the kitten is adorable. Her moms is lovely too. A tortie, I’m guessing. Page might get more of that color as she gets older. Daddy must’ve been more gray.
My ferrets would looooooooooove a little kitty like that to drag around & harrass!
Happy Birthday! *huggles* and many more! And I read somewhere that middle age is 45-65, so looks like you’ll be middle age again.
Love Page! and her mommy almost looks like Sunshine in coloring. Almost, Sunshine doesn’t have the half cream face, but she does have a double M on the forehead. One of these days I’ll post pics.
*hugs!*
Belated Happy Birthday!
Page’s mommy looks like a muted tortiseshell.
