National Sock Day

We went out last night with Mya & Wally.  It has been quite a few years since we saw each other.  They just bought some land in New Mexico on the skirts of a mountain and are planning to retire there.  They are in the process now of seeing how to get sustainable housing and most of all water up to their acreage.  Mya's cousin, Sally, the gardening writer, has a million dollar home in the area.  It is near Llama, NM, north of Taos.  Can't wait to visit them there.  I'm personally yearning for a good camping trip.  Trying to get a tent and stuff together, since I know we'll not be buying another camper too soon.   They are big canoe buffs and the Rio Grande River close by to their place too.    

My 50th birthday party was Saturday, May 17.  It was a great success because I had a blast!  Finally, I can enjoy being the center of attention and it's so great to have the people you love and trust around you to celebrate.  I'm really enjoying being alive.  I feel strong and creative this time of the year, maybe,  because it is the season when I came into the world.  Lots of food, lots of cake and not too much champagne, just enough.  Tammy, my sister-in-law prepared a chocolate fountain with lots of fruit and yummy bits.  It was a hit.  I think everyone enjoyed the party.  The weather was perfect.  We were able to be inside and outside and enjoy the cool of a spring evening with wispy clouds and an almost full moon. 

Ooooo so many time periods to  choose from...First thought was ancient Egypt, but I'd have to a rich noble.  During a prosperous period.   I don't think I could hack the poor peasant part.   Ancient  Rome during its heyday.  Also  would like to be well off.  I don't think being a slave is very appealing...

Brush my teeth!
