Senior citizen style, in the slow lane!
Good evening friends,
Color me excited!
After 11 long months, my son and DIL's home's sold Thursday for full asking!
They went to Atlanta for a Tina Turner tribute concert this weekend for Lois' birthday -- but this coming week's going to be busy, busy, busy. They're staging their own Estate/Moving sale next weekend and have asked Tom and I if we'd come help out. I'm excited -- but remembering the crowds at those I've attended, plenty nervous, too! Hope Troy''s got a big bat!
🎉
I know Mardi Gras' come and gone -- but today Tom's observing his 81st 'Happy New Year'! Woo-hoo!
Since it takes us a little longer getting around, we began Friday afternoon ...
... where I treated him to a pedicure.
I splurged on a gel manicure -- my first in 5 years -- and gasp!
Throwing caution to the winds, I'm now the owner of 10 crimson nails.
Even in my younger days, I've never worn anything more daring than beige. 3 days later I'm still startled when I look down -- like my hands belong to someone else ... a mannequin, even.
Simple pleasures!
🎉
Yesterday was low key; Tom slept most of the day. By late afternoon, however, he felt up to grilling steaks we enjoyed with asparagus and cottage cheese.
Does anyone else spread cottage cheese over and around their steak? I've never had Beef Wellington, but pretend that's what I'm eating. (lol)
🎉
Spontaneous? Not until I'd returned from church did Tom decide what he wanted to do/where to go.
I presumed we'd go to our favorite (Longhorn Steakhouse), but he felt more in the mood for Mexican.
There's never a bad time for chips and salsa!
Or margaritas.
... Which, of course, mandated a mid-afternoon nap!
I totally forgot to buy birthday candles -- but given this petite birthday cake ...
I thought the taper made for a cute juxtaposition.
Making a wish
Happy New Year!
... every day's a great time to have a great time, don't you think?
The End.
Thanks so much for visiting!
Hugs, Myra
