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.
