Joyous Birthday Wishes to my first child today or as she used to say. Happy DirBay.
Today, she is sitting on a beach in California tanning herself and listening to the music of the waves. On Facebook I saw her post. She wrote thank-you in the sand, she is enjoying her special day. I love seeing her handwriting again.
Her father and I enjoyed a full day of work, food and wonderful friends 1000 miles away. Of course the Happy Birthday phone call isn't the same as a hug in person but this year a long distance Happy Birthday wish is real for us.
However, we did celebrate with a dinner date at Caruso's deli, a movie from Blockbuster, and chocolate covered raisins. Her father and I have been dating on Friday nights for the past 33 years. When the children were little a trip to the grocery store together without them was a treat. We've kept that tradition alive but at this point a trip to the grocery store with the children would be a treat! Strange how time changes one's viewpoint!
In the meantime:
Iron man 2011 happens this weekend. http://ironmanxc.com/ I get to help registrar triathlon athletics
tomorrow morning. I met Ivanka Kuran and Mary Weidenbach who are Co-captains for the Registation Tent. Ivanka lives and works here and not only co-captains but also participates in the triathlon. She is a phyical therapist at River City Physical Therapy. Mary is from Rapid City South Dakota, She is a 1st grade teacher and this is her second year volunteering with the Ford Iron man Organization. I was given my training by these delightful women and under their tutelage I feel confident and excited about being a part of this event. More to come...
