Thank you!

 I spent a large part of my birthday yesterday reading comments on my blog and birthday wishes on Facebook. That was lovely. Thank you to all who acknowledged me yesterday with good wishes and personal messages. It meant a lot to me.

In the cool of the morning I picked an "exuberant" bouquet. It looks kind of like our garden, slightly untamed.

In the afternoon I allowed Tom to come with me up to the Starbucks at our local Safeway so I could clain my free birthday beverage. I had to buy his. Then I sat on the patio in my garden and indulged in a mocha frappe with caramel drizzle and whipped cream. Yum.

We had Papa Murphey's pizza and salad for an early dinner, and then we were off to the Sounders match. It was still 80 degrees so we cooled off in the air conditioned club before taking our seats. 

It was another victory for the Sounders and another good evening for us. We got home at 11:00 and unwound with ice cream before getting to bed. 

Now I am officially an octogenerian. We are off in a bit to meet my sister for lunch in Olympia. Her birthday is Saturday.

Thanks again for the messages and for being my friends, virtually and in person.
