Birthday!

 My birthday may or may not have been last week. :) It was a good day!

I went on my morning walk that day and ran into this in my neighborhood (which I had never seen before). It made me giggle. :) (I love all of the clever Halloween decorations people have come up with for 2020.)

There was a knock on the front door while I was working at my computer in the basement that day. That rarely happens (especially during the day). I looked out the kitchen window before opening the door and saw this edible arrangement. My brother, P, and his family sent it to me. It brought a large smile to my face! :)

Since there was so much fruit (and I was worried it would go bad before I could eat it all), I shared with my roommates. It was delicious!

 

A few days before my birthday, I was reminded of Kiki's Delivery Service (which I had seen before and really liked). I wanted to watch it again but there was no way to do it without paying for another streaming service (which I didn't want to do) so I bought the blu-ray. I received the blu-ray in the mail on my birthday. :)

I decided I wanted pictures of myself taken on my birthday. One of my roommates agreed to be the photographer and we went to the backyard and she took pictures of me.

One of my roommates offered to make cake or cupcakes for my birthday so I found a recipe that looked good to me and then sent it to her. 

The cupcakes were delicious!

Marshmallow inside of the cupcake!

Yes, I blew out candles. 😱

 

After we ordered take-out from Artie's for dinner, we watched Kiki's Delivery Service to end the evening. Overall it was a good day!

I received many text messages and calls on my birthday from family and friends wishing me a happy birthday. I also received a few cards in the mail. 

I felt very loved on my birthday and I'm grateful for my family and friends.
