Another day older and...

 

If you said, "Deeper in debt, from the song Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford, written in 1946 by Merle Travis," you get 10 bonus points.  Only 10?  Yeah, it wasn't that long ago that this same song was mentioned here.

I am now a year and a day older.  As far as I know, no deeper in debt.  I had a good birthday.  Joan and I went out for lunch, finishing with a decadent dessert... it's been a while since I indulged like that, so it was a treat.  Steph and Dan came over last night.  Before that, I played some music for Joan and Murph, but the kids (??) got in on some when they first got there.  I had to explain how some sort of applause or cheering is expected after each song; yeah, they caught on.

And then the adoring...

Notice the shirt in the photo above - Joan had me open that gift first thing yesterday morning, so I could wear it - a "classic" from 1953... can't say I have all my original parts.  ;-)  The thing I am holding in the photo below is a remote temperature read out - for the hot tub.  I have to do a bit more fussing with the tub this time of year to keep the temperature cool enough to soak.  This will be very handy, to know if I need to open the cover or turn the heater in the hot tub up or down.

And, some no sugar brownies instead of a cake (my request).  No way to put that many candles on a browning, so...


 It was a good day.
