Dinner and Flowers!

Tim took me out to dinner at the riverfront on my birthday Tuesday night, where we had a grand time watching the water and the light on the hills and the Sea Tow boat rescuing an unfortunate sailor. We ate (part of) the biggest Porterhouse steak i’d ever seen, and a slab of chocolate cake that could have fed a third-grade class, and of course we had a couple of drinks. Tim’s was boring red wine, but i had a goblet of something bright yellow with a thing sticking out of it that i thought was an aloe leaf but that turned out to be a pineapple leaf. i think it was called a “Lima Colada,” and i think it involved rum, lime, coconut shavings, pineapple juice and maybe a few other things. THEN as if it weren’t already a perfect night, we got home to find that my daughter, Rachel, had had a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to the house. I highly recommend turning 71, especially to those who have a sweet family to share their long life with.

Pretty, right?
