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, 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! Sue

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. It was such a full day! First had to take husband to the wound care clinic and then to his family doctor and then back home again. Cheryl and I then picked up Amber and Alyssa and headed to Pizza Shack in another town and met with my son Randy and his soon to be bride Erica. Terri, Mandy and Alex could not join us. I bought the kids their meals and we had a nice visit and great food. I like that there I can get just a plate pizza, lots of toppings and no crust. I love the salad bar there too. Alyssa was happy to give me the birthday card from her and she decorated it with stickers of horses and flowers. She also gave me two small coloring books. Very nice day but so long and tiring. Well, I have to get ready to go running again today. Thanks everyone. Sue

Happy Birthday, Sue. I agree, Friday is a great day for a birthday, it gives you a couple of days to celebrate and a day to recover!

I hope you have so much fun it takes TWO days to recover!

Oh, thanks so much to all of you! I know I've been MIA from the Cooking Forum lately (actually, I'm still here but mostly lurking these days). It's nice to know I'm still remembered.

This b'day is a big one; I am officially "over the hill" now, enrolled in Medicare and starting to draw my pension. But life today seems pretty much the same as yesterday, so I'm not troubled by it (much). Celebrating all weekend sounds good, but I expect to be working (freelancing is always feast or famine, so I usually don't turn down assignments, even if it means working through a weekend).

My DS is coming over for dinner. I'll cook (it won't be fancy, just turkeyburgers with gravy left over from the Thanksgiving turkey, Spanish rice with added green pepper and diced tomatoes, and some kind of green veggie). Maybe, if I'm lucky, there will be a surprise for dessert.
