Thanks all, it was a very nice birthday.
Got the early morning TEXTS from Melen. Apparently teens forgot how to TALK on the phone? But it was a nice 'conversation' with her wishing me a happy birthday.
Went to the cigar lounge and a retired baker from Chicago, who is a customer, brought me 2 homemade pies for my birthday. He knew I was not a fan of cake so he substituted pie.
Got home and snuck in a nap for about an hour in the afternoon. Something I NEVER do. But it was a nice change.
Woke up to the smell of dinner cooking. And dinner was very good. Got a call from my sister in London. Opened some presents, ate strawberry shortcake, relaxed and watched a Sandra Bullock movie called HEAT which was pretty funny.
All in all a very enjoyable and very relaxing day.
