Thanks again, everyone! During the visit of DD and her partner, who live 3000 miles away, and with my DS joining us, we've had a lovely few days together as a family again. For my birthday, they took me to dinner at a local Afghan restaurant (I had Kabuli, a dish of stewed lamb, rice, carrots, and raisins; also had a great spiced pumpkin appetizer). Afterward, my DS invited us all to his apartment for a dessert of cannoli, macaroons, coffee, and brandy. Yesterday, we went to the art museum and came home for the spinach lasagna I had prepared. We spent another afternoon looking through old family photos. We've played a lot of board games and card games, too. We'll see them off at the airport this afternoon. What a wonderful birthday week!

Thanks so much, everybody! Annie, I DO have time to post today, because the partying was done last night, when DH and I attended the bar mitzvah celebration of a cousin's twin sons. To keep this food-related: after munching on appetizers, we dined on filet mignon, Chilean sea bass, asparagus, roasted potatoes, salad, and fruit-nut bread. For dessert, there were two birthday cakes (chocolate and vanilla) plus make-your-own ice cream sundaes. It was all very wonderful and delicious. Tonight's dinner will certainly pale in comparison, but I think we need something light. My daughter's birthday gift is a cookbook, Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France, by Joan Nathan. It's filled with stories and mouth-watering photos, and I can't wait to dive in. Thanks again for all your good wishes, Sue

Good to hear that you had an enjoyable dinner with friends, Sue. Only half of the greatness of a dinner is the food - the other half is the folks with whome one shares it. (For those of us who live alone ... the only way that one can "share" it is to put a big mirror on the top of the table ... on the other side of the food [but the conversation can only be referred to as talking to one's self]). (Were one to "eat for two" in such a circumstance ... the food wouldn't "go to waste" - but would "go to waist", I reckon). Good wishes and hopes for a great year upcoming, Sue. ole joyful

Thank you to each and everyone of you that took the time out from your busy lives to wish me a Happy Birthday. So appreciated. No party here or cake. I did have a trip to the hospital for more blood work and afterward picked up lunch from McDonald's and ate it here at home with Amber and Alyssa. However being with them made it special. Sue

Happy Birthday, Sue! I still think of you as Mountain Ester, but have to remember that you do not live in the mountains!

Thanks, everyone, for the good wishes!

I've been enjoying the day, working on my family history scrapbook and ID'ing old photos. (Retirement means you still work all day, and you don't get paid for it, but *sometimes* you can do what you really enjoy, and that makes it all worthwhile!)

Lars, the derivation is: MT = empty (i.e., empty nester). I chose that moniker when I first joined the forums because everybody seemed to have "Mom" names in those days, but my kids were all grown up and out on their own.

Tricia, it's sunny here today but much colder than it has been--I was getting spoiled, thinking of 40's as "normal" for January. Today it's back to reality, highs in the mid-20's. I hope to get out for a walk while the sun is still shining.

Nothing special is planned for tonight's dinner, except the turkey soup I made yesterday.

Thanks again!
