Happy Battle of Hastings Day! 10-14-09

Happy Battle of Hastings Day is what Walker Greeted me with this morning - oh, and Happy Birthday! Funny guy huh? Now i know there is no excuse for him not remembering my birth-date! And Carissa wrote me twice on facebook wishing me a happy day - and Alan and Victoria sang me a birthday song on my answering machine - and when I called back I had a nice long visit with Sara. Here is a photo of the family all out for dinner in my honor. This was so much fun!!! The nice waitress took this shot.


The Restaurant is the "Iron Rabbit' - funny name and really good food. We had the restaurant to ourselves for the first hour we were there! Nice for taking photos about the place.

I had a most wonderful salad with chicken, black beans, bacon, cheese. I took a photo, but maybe I'll have to post it tomorrow.





We aren't supposed to be giving each other gifts, but Claudia gave me a cool cigar box - this is just the writing on it. It is so beautiful and fits right into my collection!



She also made this very very neat "card" for me - it is really a piece of art to hang on a wall (I have it hung on my china cabinet). Front and back! I am going to totally steal this idea and make something like it!











Everyone gave me gifts and I wasn't expecting anything! Mom and dad gave me $$ to buy art supplies (THANK YOU!) and Jonny gave me a cd, a candle, ginger tea, and a very special stone on a magnet that I LOVE!


On the way home - we saw a rainbow! How is that for a significant event on your birthday???


Phil gave me some lovely gifts too and we watched an old movie and ate chocolate. This is my idea of a celebration!
Thank you all.
I love you very much!
