It's My Birthday Kitty Kat

My daughter helped me dig around in the toy box in the garage and she found all the Hello Kitty toys (I have limited patience).  I have two Kitty wrist bracelets.  One with blue ribbon is on my wrist as I type. I'm calling her Birthday Kitty. I used to have a huge Hello Kitty Doll and hope that someday I will find her in a box up in the attic.  I hate to think I gave her away.

Today has been quite lovely.  Nice emails from blog friends.  A long, sweet phone call from my son in California.  Toy box digging with my daughter.  Raspberry picking with my best dog Riley.  I was smarter this time and didn't set the raspberry basket down on the ground while I continued  to pick.  The basket was empty and Riley was smiling when I came back with a handful of berries that first time.  When I placed the basket on the cucumber trellis--Riley grumbled and left the garden.  He was only there for the raspberries.

I realized, at noon, that we didn't have any "food" for my birthday dinner so I rushed off to the grocery to buy a chuck pot roast and it is slowly getting tender in the oven.  I also bought three potatoes so G can have mashed potatoes with his pot roast.  I have the second half of a cabbage in my fridge (grown in my very own garden) which will soon become a very mayo cole slaw.  My favorite Birthday Dinner.  Pot Roast, Gravy and Cole Slaw.  No mash for me.  But I intend to make and eat a low carb Chocolate Cakelet later and make a wish when I blow out my candle.

I spent most of yesterday on the couch.  I woke up sneezing and had to medicate myself and that made me sleepy so I slept most of the morning and afternoon.  Waking up to eat and then sleeping some more.  I did manage to read the 19th book in the Cadfael series between naps and only have number 20 left.  I don't think there are any more.  I wish there was a Masterpiece Theater on PBS but our local is showing something else.  Boo!!

If today is any indicator of how my 65th year will be--- wow, it's going to be amazing!
