Today we went to Lady C’s birthday party. Actually, yesterday was her birthday but we celebrated today. No, I shall not give away which birthday this is as a friend never tells personal details.
The weather was heavenly. We didn’t even need our light jackets. Music was playing with a nice variety of genres. Food was cooking on the grill. It sure smelled good and what was brought around for tasting was heavenly.
We met lots of folks we hadn’t seen in awhile and it was fun to catch up on what had gone on in our lives. Because I become uncomfortable in large crowds, Michael and I sat at one of the picnic tables farther out and people came over to us to say hi.
After a time, we said our goodbyes and headed for home.
Two stops though, one to Best Buy. Michael had purchased himself a wireless hook up for his computer. The idea being that we wouldn’t have to share the one hook up.
Next stop was to Bed Bath and Beyond. We received a gift certificate as a wedding gift. What to buy, what to buy? There is so much we could use so we walked around the store to see what caught our eyes.
To start, we picked two king-size pillows. Next stop was two bath sheets and to finish our spending spree, we purchased 14 washcloths for the price of 12. When all was said and done, we had to come up with $12 and some change. Woweee, we scored!
Now we head for home and the kids.

Quote of the Day:
“My after forty face felt far more comfortable than anything I lived with previously. Self-confidence was a powerful beauty-potion; I looked better because I felt better. Failure and grief as well as success and love had served me well. Finally, I was tapping into that most hard-won of youth dews: wisdom.”
