I had a marvelous 69th birthday. Thank you for all the birthday greetings. I spent my actual birthday with the naturalist interns on a birding field trip, and it was perfect. We took a short cruise the night before up the San Bernard River with friends. The only one who forgot to wish me happy birthday this year was my dad, and he felt so guilty that he took me out to eat to celebrate! I even received some actual birthday cards (thank you, Tina!)
Thank you so much!

Great to hear that you had a fun birthday. If I didn’t say so before, I wish you many happy returns of the day. And I hope your trip will be delightful.

What wonderful birthday events! Have fun at the Austin Book Festival. I think I already have The Story of a Heart on my TBR list, but I’m adding Nine Black Robes. The smart light bulb looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteA birthday spent birding is as good as it gets. Happy belated birthday, too.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you had a wonderful birthday doing the things you love. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the perfect birthday for you! I'm glad it was a good week. Your poor dad must have felt awful! But ice cream is a great payback!
