ronni's salon

I have to admit that this birthday has got me a bit freaked out. Maybe it's just that I haven't been going to karate class enough and those endorphins aren't working for me. But the bloom is definitely off the rose and won't be coming back in this life time anyway.
Any opportunity to take my mind off my sorry little self is more than welcome. And this Tuesday night, I begged off my weekly date with dear friend Sanae to visit with McCann expats who are meeting monthly on the last Tuesday of every month to wine, dine and dish.
The pasta was delicious and the company delightful. As I like to say, there's nothing like drinking a bit too much every once in a while to revive one's spirit and soul. Isn't that the real purpose of a bacchanal?

a beautiful morning

the scent of wet grass is in the air. the leaves are dripping. the birds are chirping. sometimes waking up to a beautiful morning is celebration enough.

red velvet

today i made gluten free red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. delicious. i made a lobster roll for lunch. and pitched my tent in the yard for the summer. tonight we're having dinner with my folks. so many celebrations in one little day. how lucky am i?

first of 50 or more

Fifty schmifty. I may celebrate in a hundred ways or more. But whatever I do, I'll be posting them here. Don't count on consistency, rhyme or reason. I'm going for joy.
