Let’s all sing along – those of you of a certain age will remember the tune: It’s my birthday I can buy what I want to, buy what I want to, buy what I want to, you could buy too…. Those were our lyrics on Saturday, Blogless Marsha and I. I didn’t really buy too much, but it was fun giving myself permission. Actually, Marsha gave me permission. We were talking, that at 50 something, we still felt special on our birthday.
And special it was, including a yarn crawl of five shops in NW WA. Marsha took me out to lunch at Bellingham’s Mount Bakery, named after the local Mt. Baker. Here’s a hint: great food, but pass on the iced tea. We both agreed it was nastiness in a glass. We arrived home to dinner, cooked by Chuck, with what has become my traditional birthday cake – Boston Cream Pie with strawberries and vanilla sauce.
I received the most unique present so far – Marsha’s Dave gave me new dryer venting pipe. You might think this strange, but understand, I especially appreciate gifts that make my life easier. Our dryer has never worked properly due to too narrow a vent. I’m presuming this "some assembly required" gift comes with installation. That might be a way bigger present than he counted on. Evil female laughter.
Here’s the spoils du jour:
A very special Scottie gift from my FL trip from Rosie and her sister, Betsy, our hostess:
And now for the yarn: some Blue Heron Rayon Metallic in Curry for Calpotis #3 and two more skeins of Koigu for a wrap.
