Happiest

Happy birthday to Michael. Welcome to Medicare! Yes, he turns 65-years old today! Thankfully, the heat wave has begun to wane but probably not the traffic! We are meeting British Don in SF later this morning for an early Dim Sum lunch at a very fancy place, per Michael's birthday request. It will be a very long drive home as traffic was actually stopped yesterday. Maximum capacity to the coast and on the coast. With it being twenty plus degrees cooler over the pass, we are hoping people will stay home!

This guy even did the yard work yesterday morning, before the heat of the day, and watered everything. We spent a few hours with Rick and Natalie then enjoyed Melanie's amazing chocolate cake she made for Michael. I was amazed how well Natalie was moving around after her double knee replacement surgery. She was even back to work! One strong woman.

Sleep was rather miserable last night. The house was 85 degree when we got home and it took a long time to it cool down. Two fans. No sheets or blankets. We never have to deal with this heat and very few homes in the area have air conditioning. No one was prepared for days of 100+ temperatures.

Let's hope it over.

But, for today, we will celebrate the birthday of this handsome guy. He is on the phone with his mom right now and I will bet it is the first of many phone calls today. The homemade cheesecake is also awaiting it's candles. Maybe he will have a slice with breakfast!
