I had a really good birthday.

Last weekend we went to the beach - my four - which is a RARE treat these days.

The family purchased me a digital camera and I have been busily taking lots of pictures.

In the morning I downloaded a new "folksy" Christian album, from CD Baby. DAVID M. BAILEY: Faith: The Anthology . I wore my favorite outfit. My hair was curly. It was a busy but fun day at work. My team at work got me a birthday cake and a wonderfully thoughtful card.
I came home and my birthday gift from Katie had arrived. A leather jacket. WOW!! I love it. Don't you?

It fits perfectly...but I did not wear it all evening as it was 90 degrees outside on my way home from work. The family took me out to our local Mexican restaurant. I love it there. They have great food. Well, I don't know how many of you have actually been around us four at our family dinners. We are very goofy silly. Laughter mixed with silliness is the key ingredient.
Well my camera being new I wanted to record the evening. I turned these recordings into a 5 min 37 sec video. It is not fancy nor very compelling... but you can almost pretend like you were there. You can get a glimpse of my birthday. So here it is. (being a large file it may take a few moments to load)
