AND IT’S MY BIRTHDAY

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Birthday in Gulf Shores

January twenty-four

No card from the King

Haiku – Richard Pack

Birthday here and almost gone. Good. Can’t say I’m feeling any better about that number but hopefully I’ll gradually improve.

Comics help.

As does positivity from friends.

After yesterday’s blog I had many share their wise words. Here’s some.

*Wish I was there to have a toast 🥂 & wonder at the amazing year 2024 will be for the totally cool 😎 new 70 year olds.

* If you weren’t this age you wouldn’t have that sweet little grandson.

*I always think, enjoy it as some don’t get to celebrate this day. Eat the cake and ice cream 🤣

*Welcome to my decade! We are so lucky to have good health and, despite some challenges, a blessed life. 🌹 🌹🌹🌹❤️

All true words. Hopefully I’ll graciously grasp their sage advice.

This line comes to mind.

“… I’m in the depths of despair. Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair?”…

Anne of Green – L.M. Montgomery

I’m not really in the depths of despair. But whatever I’m in it doesn’t affect my desire to eat.

What an absolutely fabulous way to start the day. Thanks Richard.

Cheesy scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, tomato, kombucha, and green tea.

Again started the day with the gym. Must keep active.

Then, as it’s my day, we went to the Tanger Outlet Mall for some browsing and my birthday Starbucks drink.

Hey. It’s a birthday rewards and it’s free so why not enjoy a Venti.

Then to Marshals. I bought nothing but always enjoy looking.

Richard’s not a fan of Mexican food but as it’s my day (taking full advantage of that 😉) and as he’s a good sport we went to Cactus Cantina.

Their Fajitas? Yummy. And their Margaritas? Delicious.😋 I kept getting brain freezes but hey, they don’t last long. Guess I should have sipped slower.

Thank you family and friends for your lovely birthday wishes. Great to hear from so many.

Birthday wishes (I received their presents earlier) from my children and my grandson topped off my day. Love them so much.

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
