Birthday Doings
I had an amazing birthday and birthday weekend. I got phone calls from my parents, my maternal grandparents, my godmother, the mother of my godsons (and the boys, one of whom asked if I had a wand, since I'm his godmother), my former piano teacher and her sons, two aunts, two uncles, one cousin not residing at home, and two sisters.
papertigers is very sneaky. We woke up and opened presents. She made biscuits and cooked sausages for breakfast, and we ate them with fresh watermelon. We took a nap. Then we went to the botanical garden for a few hours, and meandered over to downtown Silver Spring.
papertigers asked me to lead her to the Metro, and when we got there - there was scooterbird! We were met by efbq and their two kids. Then papertigers took us all to a Cameroonian restuarant.
I got a home-made scarf, $100, a new book that I really wanted, some necklaces, a bracelet, some rather strange socks... and:
An ice cream maker/Ben & Jerry's cookbook!
A visit in March from my oldest sister and her husband, for a whole week!
A trip to Los Angeles for Christmas!
These were the BIG and very hard to beat highlights.
I'm hoping to get a picture of my godsons today.
Happy birthday to me!
