Happy Birthday, my friend, I miss you.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! Right now my boys are out buying bagels and lox for breakfast. I knew you folks wouldn't forget so I checked in here ;-) Actually I am just sitting here contemplating if I am really 40 or if that has to wait as I was premature. Really if you look at my adjusted age I am not yet! Somehow I like the sound of forty though.

p.s. Annie I miss you to, I have a food blog and as my computer time is limited I don't come here much. Julian starts Kindergarten in the fall so I may have a little more time. btw, we are chicken farmers now with a flock of 3 (it was 4)

Hope you have a great day! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Robin. Have a great day.

Happy birthday, Robin!

Happy birthday, Robin.

Happy Birthday Robin!!

OMG, Robin, you have CHICKENS? I'll bet the boys are having a ball with that. As for losing one, I have to tell you that mortality in the chicken world pretty much a fact of life.

I just never remember that people have blogs. I check in here, answer my email and then get off the computer. Sigh.

I'm going to go check yours. Bagels and lox sound like a perfect birthday for 40. And the "baby" is already going to take over kindergarten. It just doesn't seem like it could be so...

Annie

Happy birthday, Robin Kate. I enjoyed reading your blog.

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great one!

Happy Birthday! Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! It was a fabulous day in the end. Really close friends who moved 3.5 hours away last summer came up and then there was a small catered surprise party. I figured out the surprise shortly before the part but it was still fabulous. DH chose food really well even given my food snobbery and I did not have to plan or clean a thing.

When we got home Dh told me our friend was going to stay at our house with her 3 children, my 2 children and her dog while we went and stayed in their condo at a ski resort. The weather was gorgeous and even though I don't ski it was the best. We just enjoyed each other.

Annie, the chicken mortality was completely out fault as we did not close up their run one night and a hungry, we think fox, had a feast. The boys learned about the food chain a little better and the parents learned not to be so stupid and trusting. A fox in the city, who knew? That weekend we went to a local Easter egg thing and the boys told the person in a chicken suit to watch out for foxes.

Happy Birthday! (I'm not belated yet!) It sounds like you had a lovely day. And yes, I've seen foxes right here in our suburb, along with bobcats, hedgehogs and other things. Predators don't care where they can find a meal. (We set up the scarecrow today to fend off big blue herons and keep them from eating our fish.)

Hi RobinKate-
Happy birthday, I'm glad it was a great one!!
Ellen

Sounds like the perfect way to spend your 40th, Robin!

Sorry I am late. Glad you had such a great birthday!

Linda

Robin, sorry I'm late to the party but Happy Birthday from me too!

Sounds like a fabulous weekend, that's one great husband and a great friend!

A late Happy Birthday from me too Robin!

David

Oh yeah, it does sound like a perfect birthday. So, maybe you could get a new chicken for your birthday. (grin)
