happy birthday to me!
Today’s my birthday! I’m spending it here in sunny, warm Orlando. I spent the morning sitting on the porch, enjoying the beautiful weather. It’s so lovely! I’m also enjoying being with my family. We’re going to see Marley & Me later today, and wonderful steak dinner with ice cream cake. Lewis has decided that he’s in heaven on the back porch, investigating all the Orlando bugs, geckos, squirrels, etc. I think he’s going to be mad when we leave to go back to cold(er) Atlanta.
I loved the post Paul and I wrote last year for my birthday, so I am going to repost it.
