birthday blues

Another birthday ...

Lots of love all around.  John sent fruit flowers ...
Sandy brought over free trade flowers ...
Friends stopped by, Eric and Dawn came to visit, and John flew home for the weekend ...
Partied with Frank's famous hamburgers ...
... an exciting game of corn hole (the old guys won) ...
... and finished it off with Sandy's gluten free chocolate cake!

Isaac

This blog would be remiss if I didn't at least mention Hurricane Isaac.  It was not a big deal for me - no flooding or trees down - but 3 solid days of bands of wind and rain that swirled out from the center of the storm. 

In some strange way, I enjoyed it, like I do most all "bad" weather.  Jane came over for part of it and we sat it out.   Some communities just west of here had major flooding, and all the property damage that brings with it.
