Michael's Birthday

End of a celebratory weekend so it is now back to real life. The rehab class is today but I need to change some appointments, grab fresh eggs from the store and make a few phone calls before class. Today is the return to my very healthful diet, no little bites of cake! We will be having Whopper in a Bowl for dinner tonight - a salad.

We did swing by my mom's yesterday to drop off a piece of birthday cake. She loves when we just drop in. Since we celebrated grandly for our anniversary, Michael wanted a simple lunch from In-N-Out burgers. We enjoyed the sunshine and chatted about our lives together. The tourists were not out in full bloom so we were able to get over the pass to be out in the garden for more sunshine and conversations.

Chip and Betty sent a birthday gift to "Farmer Michael." It was farmer overalls with seeds for his winter crop and a poem about being a farmer. Hilarious. It was a homage to his first ever successful vegetable garden.

William phoned later in the day to wish his dad a happy birthday. He was in rehearsals in Nashville in preparation of a final concert with the group he has been traveling with the past two years. After the concert, they are throwing a big party. He has hired two of his crew to go with him on his next project beginning next week!

Bon Voyage, Barbara and John!
