Fall and spring are my favorite seasons. Spring in particular because of the sense of renewal, the turn of crisp cold to invigorating warmth. And I'm not the only one, everyone stops wearing their winter drabs and dons vivid and exciting clothing. Flowers start to bloom and the sun stays out a bit longer. Besides all this, my birthday comes just after the beginning of spring. March as a whole is the birth month of of a lot of people in my family including my mother. So birthday celebrations lively birthday celebrations are in order.
This year we'll have a few birthday dinners and of course lots of delicious cake. Most importantly I'm humbled by the wonderful people in my life. I woke up to birthday emails from friends all over the world and throughout the day received phone calls as well. Life isn't perfect but it is joyful and with all these great people I feel a bit spoiled!
We started celebrating on Sunday at a chain burger restaurant and a lovely cake from our family friend. Yesterday the family surprised me with dinner and a cake from one of our favorite pastry shops. Mom was so worried about cooking for me! She said that it was a bit nerve wracking to cook for someone who cooks to the extent that I do. Of course she had nothing to worry about-the food was excellent. Besides the fact that there is nothing like having someone cook for you, she has the skills-after all Dad taught us both!
