Today's my birthday, gonna have a good time! Hello, 56!

Ok, so my birthday really isn't until tomorrow, but tomorrow (unless you are reading this on Tuesday, which would be your today) I plan on being pretty much computer free, so this is early.
Phil and Laurie told me that their birthday tradition is that the birthday person gets to do anything he or she wants to do. After thinking about it a few minutes, I requested a beach walk, pick a beach, any beach - which is my own birthday tradition.

This is the Mainer's approved chosen beach...and I'm very much looking forward to it! Tonight, as a fine get-started-with-my birthday, Phil cooked us a very delicious meal of aged steak and fresh corn on the cob, with a dessert of freshly picked strawberries a friend brought over, already hulled! and vanilla ice cream. And yes, just so you are sure - I know, to my marrow, that I am the luckiest woman in the world.

Still behind the camera...in jeans (and not sweating!)

    Awww! I love you all too! Thanks much. We'll be heading to the beach soon and it looks like a great day ahead, including an antique boat parade of windjammers (the sail on one is tomorrow - if it doesn't rain).

    Thanks! It is a great day...what a very different beach that was! And people were swimming...good lord, I couldn't get my feet wet past my toes, it was freezing. Yikes. But I like that island with the lighthouse and house on it...very cool.
