Methinks today came 

early. Might have some

thing to do with having 

gone to bed early! Ha!

Ever so lucky in that I

get to spend time with

one of my friends from

my old school district

today.

Sooooo love me some

birth months! The re-

connecting that happens

is both amazing and 

priceless. Plus, I love

the news updates as well.

I'm finding that I enjoy

these October days so 

that I hate for them to

end. 'Tis almost like I

try to draw them out to

the last second.

Can hardly wait to see

that this day, day #6,

brings!

Happy! 

     HAPPY! 

          H A P P Y !!!

Today was simply packed

with wonder!

Three of my daughters

came for brunch; alas, 

the other two . . . one 

had a sick little boy and 

the other had work.

So, we four laughed and 

cried, told tales out of 

school, ate and waded thru

champagne and mimosas.

Then we met up with the

guys who had gone off to 

play pool and share some

brewskies.

A night time fire warmed

us in the evening. A long

day and simply filled with 

joy.

Turning 75 and celebrating

with my beloveds must be

one of the most beautiful

things to ever happen to 

me.

Much loved my kiddos as

babes, yet as adults, they

fill me with amazement . . .

Back to lovin' me some Oct

days . . .

Had such a fab time with my

dearest and bestie Tommy

yesterday. 'Twas a bit chilly,

hence my first fire in October.

Do you have any idea what

it's like to drink a frosty beer

in front of a fab fire on a cold

day?! Such fun . . .

One of the best things about

a birth month is catching up

with fam and friends. Today,

I get to catch up with a friend

from my old neighborhood.

We even got to serve in the

same school district.

Sooooo looking forward to

seeing her. Bet we talk faster

than we can write.

Lesson learned from yesterday:

Don't try to get fat in one day!

You have the entire month to

lay on the pounds!! What's the

hurry, already!!!

Never thought I'd be b-day'd

out in two days . . .

Got home from our fave café 

of yesteryear and told my guy

I thought a little nap was in

order. All good . . . and then

I woke up at 6:00 a.m. this

early morn.

I asked him if I had slept

straight through and he said

I had. Went down and got 

my two cups of buttermilk

as is my custom and began

writing this missive.

Turns out it was 6:00 eve,

NOT morn . . . How old

did we say I was?!

Still, had a great time w/

my son over tons of Mex

foods. I may never be the

same again!

Best of all, the gals came

out and sang me, Las

Mañanitas and gave me a

special dessert. Sweeties!

Feelin' fat and sassy . . .

now, which day is this?

"Out of all Mother Nature's

colors, October is my favorite."

muses from a mystic

Speaking of my fave month,

yesterday was glorious, but

unbeknownst to me, surprise

awaited around the corner.

Our friends showed up in the

late afternoon/early evening, 

completely unexpected. We

sat around the fire pit, chatted

and 'brewskied' as the day

faded away into the dark. I'm 

talking pitch black. Such fun! 

Such cold!!

Today, we'll travel to our fave

café of yesteryear. We'll meet

my son for lunch. 'Tis a place

to get fat with delish foods and

memories in one fell swoop!

Sooooo love me my 75 years,

my favest son, falling leaves

and the month of October . . .

October 2nd celebrations

October is here! Finally!!

Thought it would never 

come!!!

Gifted with turning 75, I'm

going to do something fun

each and every day of this

glorious month.

Today, my guy is treating 

me to breakfast in bed. But,

oh what a breakfast . . .

Champagne on ice (breaking

my 30 day fast) strawberries 

dipped first in sour cream and

then in brown sugar. Yum!

He tells me that later in the

day, he's taking me up the

mountains to see the fall

colors. Suggested I pack a

picnic. What fun!

I feel so lucky . . . 75 years

on this planet. What a gift!

Not sure to whom I owe my

thanks, but know this . . . I

am ever so grateful for the

gift of life denied to many.

Sooooo, let's celebrate!

Happy birthmonth to moi!
