A Nice and Quiet Birthday

Mary made the trek to Farmers' Market and then we went to Whole Foods.  And, Mary did buy a new supply of walnuts, soft cheese and olives so that means, to me, she is feeling very good.  We also picked up a mini-birthday cake that will provide a great wrap up to dinner tonight. 

Another change is that Mary asked for fish for dinner tonight and we did get fresh petrale sole  at market from our fishmonger.  The last time we had our traditional Sunday fish dinner, the smell from cooking caused Mary's tummy to go south.  That was in January so I am so excited that she wants to go back to a fish dinner, just because it seems so normal. 


Mary has taken calls from her kids and grandkiddies this weekend to get her birthday wishes. We even got her son Daniel to sing  Happy Birthday to her.  


Daniel, it turns out, has signatures on his discharge papers as of Friday and expects the official "walk out the door" from Fort Bliss and the US Army sometime tomorrow!  His 4 year tour of duty is complete and he will move to Pennsylvania where Kamie lives for the next phase of his life.  Great job Daniel and good wishes for a wonderful future!  


Mary is intently watching the red carpet show on E! and has programmed the TiVo to grab the awards ceremony itself.  She does love to see what the movie folks are doing.
