A Day Out For My Birthday

by 53 Comments

Yesterday was my birthday and I had such a great day. Eric took me to my favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch and then we went to a park and walked and walked. It was such fun. I snapped some pictures with my phone to share. You can click for larger images.

    Happy belated birthday! You’re lucky you don’t live near, or I’d have had to sign you my special birthday song, and you don’t ever want to hear me sing….

    Happy birthday, Elizabeth. Sounds like it was lovely.
    p.s. thanks for the lovely pix.

    Happy Birthday Elizabeth. Probably no better way to spend the day then with a loved one eating and then walking off the calories in nice weather , enjoying the scenery.
