Happy birthday, Lily. I hope this evening with your daughter turns into a delightful celebration for you both.

Happy Birthday, Lily! Hope you didn't hurt yourself too bad. Get some ice on it. And don't let birthdays get you down. Be happy and enjoy your time with your daughter, even if you'll be sitting more than you'd like!

Happy Birthday. Sorry about the ankle--that stinks. Enjoy your daughter (-:

Happy Birthday Lily!!! Clementine is always coming over quiet like a ninja and lying down right behind me in the kitchen and elsewhere so I empathize with your tripping on your dog. I hope it is just a sprain, and I hope you have a great birthday with your daughter.

Oh the crunching sound when an ankle gets turned. owee Haven't done that lately - knock on wood. Hope it mends soon.

Birthday Greetings! Have a lovely dinner...and come back to tell us all about your celebration. This is my DGS's birthday as well -- who is this 6'2" young man receiving college acceptances? Wasn't he just napping in a crib in our guest room?

Happy Birthday Lily! Heal soon!

Sorry to hear about your ankle - that is not what you want for your birthday!

Awwww. Well, Happy Birthday Lily!

(and it's NOT surprising but it is unfortunate reading how you got hurt. At the start of the pandemic, I really did a number on myself getting up from the couch after sitting ... nice, at home, nothing in my way. just clumsy).

Here's to good healing and I hope you enjoy your dinner and have some extra desserts!

Happy birthday! Bummer about your ankle. Ive sprained mine in the past and wowza, does that hurt. i bet the dogs felt bad about it.

I'm back from dinner and it was very delicious. Apparently it's the new trendy place since it was packed. Pricey but very good. I had a pasta meal with a lemony sauce and shrimp, scallops, and crabmeat. We opted not to have dessert since tomorrow she's having a soup and salad supper so her brother can come and that will be cake time (and gifts) Both kids are very original in their gifts (unlike their father).

I don't think my ankle is sprained, just twisted. I put ice on it and it doesn't hurt too much. As they say, most accidents happen at home and I have these two very old dogs plus three cats who are always underfoot.

Glad you had a nice dinner and that your ankle isn't too painful.

Happy Birthday Lily, I hope your ankle gets better soon. At least you had a delicious dinner with your daughter.

Happy birthday! Sounds like a lovely dinner and a perfect way to celebrate. Enjoy cake and soup and salad tomorrow.

Sorry about the tripping hazard in your kitchen. I have four cats and two dogs who like to be tripping hazards in my house. My dogs aren't allowed in there while I'm cooking.

My cats don't like to be around when I'm cooking. . So that works out well.

I hope your ankle heals very quickly. Been there done that. It hurts.

Happy Birthday. Glad you enjoyed a nice dinner with your daughter. Sorry about the painful ankle. I did a dumb middle of the night thing and have a broken pinky toe that doesnt want to get better.

Happy birthday Lily! Glad you enjoyed dinner with your daughter and glad your ankle feels better. Enjoy your dinner with your kids.

Happy Birthday! Glad it didn't stop you from going out to enjoy a nice meal out.

My mouth is watering over your dinner choice. You have two considerate children. Our DS is usually late remembering *anyone's* birthday, not just mine. I've received Mother's Day cards or gifts in late June. ADD doesn't go away with age.

Happy Birthday, Lily!

Thanks for the nice birthday wishes. The second day was more casual but fun. SIL made a delicious chicken chowder and we had homemade bread, salad, and the cake my daughter always makes for me... angel food with whipped cream cheese icing topped with strawberries and served with Trader Joe's strawberry gelato. BUT...I said above my kids give great gifts. Daughters were over the top as usual... gorgeous flowers, a balloon, three articles of clothing, and fairy lights which are solar-powered lights on long stems to place in your garden and they sway in the wind and light up every night. So cool. Son was out of left field with his gift. One was a bottle of rose wine I admired when I had it at his house. Okay good. The very bizarre one was an ear wax removal tool camera.!!! OMG! The camera takes a video of your inner ear and there are tools to use. It's by far the most bizarre gift of my life and I don't know if I'll use it.

Well alright! That definitely ranks among bizarre! I'd use the camera if only to get a look at a part of my body that's otherwise difficult to see!

sounds like a wonderful birthday and how thoughful your children are! that's fantastic.

glad u are healing up nicely, so u can get back on the trail!

I'd love to have that otoscope! I'd use it on DH to *prove* he has wax -- and resultant hearing loss.

Happy belated birthday! I hope your ankle heals quickly and completely.
