U is for Umpity-Four

 
Yup, it's that B-day thing, and I'm that old. Wow.

My celebration was Saturday afternoon. Ellen, Loren, Dave and I went to Gale's Pond.

We had a little cookout.

What did we cook? We had genuine "Chicago Style" Hot Dogs.

Today, my goal was to just enjoy a leisurely pace. I mowed part of the lawn, and made Morning Glory muffins to take to my writers' group tonight. I read a bit, and did some of my normal computer stuff. Many, many people sent me greetings on Facebook. I'm pretty amazed at that.

Here, have a muffin!

  1. Happy B day, a bit late, now that the day is almost over. I'm glad you enjoyed your celebration on Saturday. Looks like a good time. But one question, so what is all that stuff on top of the dogs that make them Chicago Dogs? They look yummy.

  3. Looks like the perfect day! :) I'm glad you had a good birthday.

    LOVE the hot dogs! I'm proud of you that you weren't tempted to put ketchup on them. That is a HUGE no-no when it comes to Chicago Style.

  7. Belated Birthday greetings! Looks like you had a super day - especially with the hot dogs!

    And, how lucky, you had glorious sunshine - it is wet, wet, WET here in the UK, and still the local water authority have imposed a hosepipe ban!

    Oh well, happy A-Z'ing!

  11. Thanks for stopping by my blog! (www.mummyisagadgetgeek.co.uk).

    The 24th is (was!) my birthday too :)

    It was way too wet for barbecuing here though, we went for a thai meal in the evening and I spent the day with Bubby D, taking her swimming and to her singing group like normal. I had fun, sounds like you had a great day too.

    Happy birthday to us!
