My birthday, yesterday, was uneventful and enjoyable. I was gifted with flowers from Ken and the Baltimore Kirkwoods and the Idaho Kirkwoods tell me there is a gift on the way. I love it when the celebration goes on for days. Craig came by with 2 bottles of very nice red wine, so of course we had to try one. Woodward Canyon 2000 Old Vines Cabernet - a HUGE wine and outstanding! Ken and I went to Ft. Lewis to renew my ID card and then we made a stop at the commissary. That was the uneventful part. Ken cooked dinner for me, so all 'round, it was very nice.

I am meeting my friend Elisabeth for lunch. She and I met each other when entering the real estate game about 10 years ago and we have remained fast friends. She is a lovely, thoughtful person, and I enjoy seeing her. She lives in Gig Harbor so I must admit I don't go over to see her as often as I should. She is German, but has lived in the US (and is a US citizen) for at least half her life. My ideal trip would be to go to Germany with her!

Rainy, rainy, rainy, with a bit of sun tomorrow accompanied by: RAIN. Winter must be here.

We still have made no plans for the MH outing I mentioned in my last blog. We like to be spontaneous!!

I'm off for lunch.

Ciao
