Yesterday was my birthday. Andy came and brought cake and ice cream and a goody bag containing Dolly Parton's book Coat of Many Colors and some treats. Jesse joined us and we had a s scrumptious lunch from Rusty's BBQ, one of our favorite local eateries.
After lunch we watched "Good Will Hunting," a wonderful movie that I can't believe I haven't seen in all these years. Robin Williams, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, and Minnie Driver were just amazing. It was fun seeing them all in their younger days. Ben and Matt wrote the script. Their writing combined with the cast's superb acting make for a movie that everyone should see. I highly recommend it.
The weather here can't decide whether it wants to be spring or more winter. Yesterday, the temperature was in the 80s. Last night we had strong storms, and today it's cold (but sunny) with a brisk wind. The electricity went out early this morning and only just came back on at around 2:00 p.m. It got cold in the house, so the cats and I snugged up in bed, and I read until the electricity returned.
I think my health has returned to normal, which is not to say excellent. I still have the chronic pain in many parts of my body, especially my back. But the flu and sinus infection have left me finally.
Now I think I'll return to my reading for a little while.
Late Happy Birthday wishes from a long time reader. Beautiful cake!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great celebration of YOU and your delightful presence among us!
ReplyDeleteThursday our high was 87*F, then yesterday morning another Arctic blast came through dropping our temperature to 33*F with rain, rain mixed with snow that melted, then just snow that stuck. It was nuts. Happily, most of snow is already gone.
Hugs!
