it was a lovely birthday

I had a lovely birthday - it started with this beautiful cake - made by Martha -delivered to my door right before breakfast. It quickly became breakfast (and lunch and dinner).

Here is the side slice. Isn't it delish? Martha is the best.

I had over an hour of reading time in the hammock and then took E and Moo to the Jr. Rose Festival Parade. We lasted through two hours of heat and then ran to the basement for some cool playing time.

The day ended at Ken's Artisan Pizza with arugula topped pizza, Lambrusco and homemade ice-cream. I fell asleep with a good book and dreamt of it being my birthday all year long.

Thanks for all of the lovely presents, emails, flowers, cards and phone calls. It really felt like my special day.
