Birthday Recap

It was a really good day.  

Started with the hike -- and I was able to finish the hilly 4 miles with no issue.  Is my back finally recovering??  We left a bunch of Happy Rocks which made me happy.  BTW, kids decided to keep their rocks instead of leaving them -- seems to be a theme.

Here's my youngest with his rock -- the flash made the rock beard look like it has a white smudge.  

Showers and then food from a local-ish restaurant.  I tried the buffalo cauliflower for an appetizer and it was delicious.  I've wanted to try buffalo cauliflower for a longtime and they had it on the menu.  Got the usual chickpea shredded salad -- vegan with shredded kale, apple, Brussels and avocado.  The only way I'll eat those veggies raw -- it's a heavy chewing bite!

Eldest and DIL bought a GF cake from the bakery that made their wedding cake.  Chocolate with white buttercream -- DELICIOUS.

Gifts were fun.  Lots of goodies -- all catered to what I like and that was very sweet.

New gardening apron

Paint tiles and paint pens

After the kids left, hubby and I watched the Downton Abbey movie.  It was cute -- made for the fans to update the family.  I enjoyed it, but glad it was streaming for free now.  Dinner was homemade popcorn and another slice of cake :)

I have a couple of birthday calls and Spanish class today.  I'm bummed to miss bookclub this afternoon since it's IN-PERSON.  Hopefully, next month.  Bring on the Spanish week -- lots of classes coming up.

Birthday goals recap another day this week.  I'm slow rolling this morning (!!)  Have a great day -- later gators.
