Another Birthday


I liked the textures and colour contrast in this photo I took the other day.

I celebrated my birthday recently. It seems the older I get, more people remember. I had a lot of good wishes from friends and family. L got me some new gym shorts that fit perfectly, along with some age defying eye cream and facial moisturizer. I'll certainly use them! She also made me a beautiful card signed by M and K as well. M brought home a delicious ice cream cake that night.

K has final exams today, we are a bit stressed about Math, but we'll wait and see. I'm sure he'll do the best he can. I certainly know a lot of Grade 10 math, keeping the Alzheimers away!

It's funny, both the kids enjoy watching Judge Judy. It's not something I watch myself. L recently spent a fabulous weekend in cottage country with a bunch of university friends, despite all the blackfly and mosquito bites.

  6. Happy belated birthday!
    Do you know the name of the plant on the left?
    Still trying to figure out my new garden. I haven't gardened much in this area, mostly Ottawa and Muskoka, and I have all sorts of garden surprises here!

    Cheers from S.E. Ontario Cottage Country!

  7. Jenn, it's a princess spirea. It was just starting to blossom, the shrub gets covered in pretty pink flowers.

  8. Happy Birthday, Christine. You're reminding me to go and put some moisturizer on my face. My daughter gave me some eye cream a long time ago. Where the heck is it anyway?
