Duck, Duck, Goose.
Today I turned another year older. I told a friend over the weekend I wanted no 'Pomp and Circumstance' this year so I've held off posting (ya like I post so regularly these days, LOL) until there's barely an hour left of the day!
I had a pretty good day. Me, the daughter and grand-prince went to the 'Duck Park'. The town I live in has a charming little park by a big stream full of ducks and geese. There are picnic tables and a walking path. We brought our lunch and enjoyed the 60 degree weather. The prince loved the outdoors, and the cars and trucks driving by. I thought he might be a little more intrigued with the ducks than he was but all in all it was a good time.
I'm not feeling so great right now, praying I don't have the flu which is at almost epidemic proportions in these parts right now, the local schools were closed two days last week due to illness. I felt great all day but as the sun went down so did I. Hopefully it's just a cold.

It stinks to be sick on your birthday when you should be drinking a martini and celebrating that you are one year more saavy and spectacular than you were the year before. That is my theory and I'm sticking to it because I have a birthday coming up in April and I am inching ever closer to 50. How the hell does that happen??? Happy birthday and I hope you feel better soon. :)

Hey, it's amazing how YOUNG 50 looks to me at this vantage point, lol. Since I was sick and missed the martini for my birthday I'll just have to join you for one in April :) Thanks!

Happy Birthday ~ a few days late!
Maybe now you will feel like celebrating with hubby for some special time.
Sorry we missed making connections when we were in your area.
Perhaps another time.
Take care!
