Another Year...

This is a duplicate post from my other blog, but what the heck.

Today I pass the Half Century mark. I celebrated by going to Physical Therapy - very exciting.

Tonight I get to go to a show at the Brave New Workshop - a family tradition, since my dad actually worked there with Dudley Riggs and Dick Guindon all those many years ago. My son was in their Teen Performance Troupe. So heck, we practically own it, right?

On Sunday my mom is having us over for a celebratory Bouja supper. No, this is not the Bouja you are familiar with - we think that perhaps 'bouja' is Czech for 'stew' or something equally generic. This is a very unique thing, and it is Heaven. Along with the Czech potato dumplings (potato-sized, cannonball-weight), totally worth the gluten-induced pain the next day. I'll be half-good and have cheesecake instead of our traditional homemade birthday cake.

I promise to be good next week, but if you can't be a little bad on your birthday, when can you be bad?

I made it another year. Yay, me!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUuuuu (sorry about the off key singing) . I saw a commercial on TV last night for cancer survivors and they were singing that song, so I guess someone let them know about you already .

Enjoy the laughs and dumplings and I would always chose cheese cake over birthday cake...covered with cherries and chocolate drizzle ?

Big hugs on another year ,
Denise

It is worthy of a repeat post...

I hope you had a lovely evening with your family Eileen! What a nice way to spend your birthday ~ with people who love you.

I also vote for cheesecake over birthday cake. And I hope you don't have to "pay" for your little indulgences. You've earned them! (and many, Many more!)
