My sister-in-law, Marlane, and I share the same birthday. Happy birthday, Marlane! I hope the day is ending a little better than it started. The day began in what turned out to be a rather comical situation, although it didn't look that way for a while. But, all's well that ends well, you know.
Tim has been busy cooking a mostly Paula Deen dinner: Corn Casserole, Southern Style Steaks, Potato Casserole, and Paula's Volcano Cake. We've never made these steaks or the cake before, but the other items are very wonderful. The cake looks pretty wonderful, too - can't wait to taste it. And, Tim made it all by himself!
Bethany made one of our favorites, corn casserole, last night. She's got basketball tryouts today, so she won't be home until evening. She should get home around the same time that Brett should be showing up.
Evan sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers with some Ghirardelli chocolates. The flowers actually have a very nice fragrance (you know, how sometimes, those bouquets don't really have much of a scent). I'll have pictures later.
I have to wait until everyone's home and dinner is eaten to open the rest of my presents. Tim seems very happy with the items he's selected. I did get the glider/recliner that we ordered off of the internet this morning. It's very pretty, dark brown leather. Perfect timing on that!
Today was a little different than usual. In connection with Marlane's morning, I ended up having a running email/chat with Erica for several hours. I enjoyed that, as we don't get to talk very often, although it might have been more fun in a happy situation. Actually, Erica has quite interesting and often humorous takes on most situations, so it's always going to be good!
I've lucked out and have two basketball games to watch: the Rockets and the Kings. It would be so nice to end up with two wins. And this year, it's even possible! The Kings have already won a few games (which didn't happen for several months last year, you might recall).
Two of my favorite people born on the same day. What a great day that was and is. I did notice you refered to you folks annerversary as 'That fateful day' I think we might use that taghere as well. Peace & Love, T
