My 66th!

I had a great birthday - it was the 27th anniversary of my 39th birthday!  Dave made breakfast for us  and Bob called to invite us to breakfast...sorry, Bob & Ann.  With our busy schedule, you've got to call early - ha!!  Then we met Sudi, Howard, and Chris at the Post Corner for lunch.  The Gulf of Mexico was a little riled up today - an angry ocean!

What a fun lunch!  It was great seeing all of you!!

When we got home, we took two bike rides - even though I about froze to death!  It was really cold pedaling into the north wind!  Then I took a little nap to get ready for cards tonight.

While we were playing cards, Dave brought in a cake for everyone to have a piece!  My brother came in, hugged and kissed me, and even sang Happy Birthday to me!!  He must have been hitting the Crown!  Then he came back a few minutes later with a deck of 1948 trivia cards for me!  Plus, I got over 175 messages on Facebook wishing me HB.  Overall it was a wonderful birthday!

Windy day!

This was another beautiful day.  It was really windy, though.  Dave and I started our day at the clubhouse for coffee and donuts.  We came home after riding our bikes around the park.  Dave was going to do some of the things he has on his to-do list, but instead he said, "Let's go enjoy the sun and the water.  It may be the last warm day for a while."  So we went down to John's Pass to take some pictures and enjoy the gulf.  It was a little rough today, but it was beautiful!

The red "thing" in the middle of the picture is fish skin.  As the guy filets the fish, he throws the bad parts to the pelicans.  It's a hoot watching them!!

Our day was really made when we saw somewhere around 8-10 dolphins.  They were really putting on a show for us.  We watched them for a good 30 minutes before we had to leave.

God was also putting on a show.  Beautiful breakers in the Gulf.

Tonight I played 7s from Hell with 7 other ladies.  My partner and I got absolutely clobbered!  It was worse than Monday night, if you can believe that!!
