Birthday times

I had a wonderful birthday two weeks ago. I took Thursday through Monday off, and had a great long weekend around the house. On the Thursday morning, I finished putting up the fence I had been building in front of our house, and I am proud to say the fence looks pretty good!

I followed that by going with Claire to have a hot tub and massage during the lunch hour.

Later, Claire had arranged for me to get a guitar lesson, which was a great deal of fun. Since I've been picking out chords and strumming things out on my own, it was nice to get some guidance from someone who has a clue...

In the evening, we went out for a sushi dinner at our favorite local restaurant. And we finished up the day back at home, sharing chocolate cake.

I am very blessed.
