Yesterday was birthday… my 80th!!

Most of the day was lazy and restful. I vowed to take it easy, and I did!

At about 3:10 I headed to Pat’s house to pick her up. (She’d said she wanted to take me out for my meal.) Together we went to King’s Point’s Annual Garage Sale. It was ok, but after a lot of walking, my back acted up and I was pretty miserable by the time we left.

Fish dinner at Fiore’s was excellent. I’m glad that’s where we went for our dinner.

When I took her home, she had me come in to open her gift. (The dinner would have been plenty.) She gave me a lovely purse. It is perfect!

I hurried home. Jay Ungar and Molly Mason had a special event planned for the evening. (It had started at 7:00. It was 7:10.) Their event was a Waltz-A-Thon, because 3/4 (March 4th) is “waltz time.” Many musicians had submitted waltz videos so the three hours were filled with lovely music from all over the country.

About an hour in, Jay and Molly played a tune written by Molly called “Cabernet.” When Jay announced it, he said, ‘Sharon Skaryd, listen up.” Half way through the tune, it changed to “Happy Birthday.” They all sang along. “Happy birthday, dear Sharon.” What a wonderful surprise!!

I can’t imagine a better birthday even if I was alone a lot of the time.
