Memory: Ok, so this memory is a day late - but I was a little busy yesterday. So let's pretend it is Tuesday September 20th (we don't have to relive it again). 50 years ago, Helen Zoback gave birth to the most amazing; cute, tiny and smart baby. (and apparently humble) that would mean that my mom was 37 years old when she had me. For the longest time, I used to think I had been an oops; then it dawned on me; Robin was only three years older than me, so she must have been the oops and I was the playmate. Too bad it took us til our 20's to want to play together!!!!! thank goodness we have each other now.
So my actual birthday day was wonderful. Received many birthday wishes from friends and family, and I didn't even have to be on Facebook to get them (not looking good for my Facebook re-instatement De) Got a surprising phone call my my cousin Ken in Grand Prairie. He is exactly 1 year and 1 day older than me. It was so nice to catch up and reminice. I worked in the morning, and then attending a funeral in the afternoon. Our dear friend Ray's grandmother passed away. This amazing lady was 99 years old - 1 month short of 100. Up until a few years ago, she was still living on her own; and maintaining her garden. A lovely, lovely lady and a very nice memorial.
Then last night my son Skyped me - for my birthday - one of the best presents. I just needed to see for myself that he was doing well and enjoying himself. Seems he's misplaced his razor charger, so the face was a little scruffy. He'll be home for Thanksgiving.
This morning was a catch up morning. Ran errands in the morning; work in the afternoon; bill payment and paper work this evening, and now I'm going to attempt to give myself a manicure.
If it doesn't turn out, I'll be visiting my nail lady early Friday morning.
Enjoy this great Wednesday - hug a friend and say hi to a stranger.
