Birthday - Parts 1 and 2

It always seems like birthday celebrations go on forever. Mine is July 28th (I won't say how many), and we started celebrating last Saturday night when Chuck took me to a Three Dog Night concert at Treasure island. It was a great concert, but it was pretty bizarre to hear the familiar sounds of good songs coming from some very OLD rockers. The average age of the audience was pretty old, too, except for us :-)

Next, I spent today shopping and lunching with my buddies. Three of us have birthdays within 10 days, so we've been getting together for years sometime during the end of July. Lunch this year was Italian at Maggiano's - yummy - after coffee in the morning at a French bakery. If we can't go to Europe, at least we can eat like we're there!

Next on the agenda is Part 3 - a family gathering up north at the lake where we have a cabin rented for a week. Pizza and Dairy Queen cake are on the menu. Pictures of that, plus hopefully some of the huge fish that Chuck plans to catch, will come later.
