I tried to get the week off so that we could celebrate all week long, but that didn’t work out and in the end it was best as Bill had a client in town.
Bill’s birthday has been going on for several months. It started with the half marathon training, followed by an almost surprise birthday party up in Seattle and we finished his actual birthday with dinner at a little pub in Oregon City. Scottish Ale was his beverage of choice. My Mom gave his a bee keeper hat, veil and book to help him with his quest to become a bee keeper.
Here is a photo of bill in his new outfit and me trying on just the hat.
Since my birthday is two days after his, my birthday activities overflowed with his. Bill had me make arrangements to leave work an hour early on Tuesday and he delivered part one of my gifts which was a bike fitting. An absolutely perfect gift for me as I’ve been having some issues with my bike. There were quite a few items changes so hopefully this weekend will be nice enough to go out for a spin. Perhaps this will help with my quest someday to do a Cycle Oregon ride.
On my birthday I worked in the morning from my Mom’s house and she gave me a gift as well as a card that has left me wondering “what was she thinking” “is she serious” only time will tell.
During my lunch break I came back home and worked from our house until signing off for the day. I had a surprise phone call from my brother who lives overseas and had a gift waiting for me when I got home and I already knew about part three which was tickets to a concert on the lawn at Skamania Lodge listening to Michael Allen Harrison and Tom Grant. There were threats of rain, but nothing more than gray clouds appeared.
I couldn’t have asked for a nicer birthday or a nicer person to spend my birthday with.
