My pals from the Durham area came over last night to fete my birthday with cake and ice cream (and most excellent blueberry pie from Weaver St Market). Sandi got me a terrific carrot cake with cream cheese icing from Saladelia. But she had a cold with the sniffles and didn't come. We missed you.
Part of the evening was spent busting open 2 homemade pinatas that they had made for me. One was shaped to look like a blast-all purple and bulbous. When I hit it hard enough with the stick, it burst open spewing chocolates and fun trinkets all over the back porch. The other pinata is harder to describe with cones of many colors that stuck out from a central torso like area. It also rewarded me with gobs of chocolates, other candies, small toys, and trinkets to play with. It was very special to share my birthday with so many sweet, cool people. Thanks for planning the surprises. Sure am glad I managed to blow out all the candles; I want my wish to come true.
This morning we are heading to Emerald isle to stay with friends for the night. We'll get a beach trip in afterall, visiting the ocean today and tomorrow. I won't take my computer so this is it until we get back. Have a great w-e.
