Birthdays

Today is my birthday.  Daughter is here, as her program is closed due to snow.  I don't like birthdays, for a variety of reasons.  I had a member who was willing to take me to lunch, but with roads a mess, that's not going to happen now.  I may make myself some chocolate muffins to celebrate....

I find myself remembering 5 years ago, when I turned 50.  We had just moved Mom into a dementia unit.  Dad went to visit her and then called me on his cell phone.  He tried to get her to wish me happy birthday.  He kept explaining to her that it was my 50th birthday.  It was a nice try.  I miss them both, especially today.

Happy birthday, my friend! Yes, some muffins would be good! I am going to make soup, as tomorrow we're expecting a snow storm, lasting through Sunday into Monday. That will probably keep us in too.

Thanks. Soup sounds good. I may pull some out of the freezer for lunch...

Happy birthday. Muffins and soup sound like just the ticket.
