2: Two birthdays in one

Lunch with Margaret Maddox whose birthday is on the 10th. We celebrate together each year. Highly recommended: Small Plates. We ate pear and bleu cheese pizza, beet root salad, and gratineed mushrooms. Pumpkin-pecan cheesecake (natch!) for dessert.

Also recommended: Hot waiter with square diamond earrings and loads of charisma!

Embarking on the journey that is 365 for my fiftieth year from November 7, 2010 to November 7, 2011.

I have another one of these posted at Flickr and on my other blog, but I love the light in this one and wanted it to be seen so I'm putting it here. Caitrin and I made these ribbon flowers. Love them.

To help us feel better about all these bandage changes, the vet tech puts hearts on the various bandages each time. This first heart occurred on Valentine's day and our kids were so thrilled!

Here's the latest cast of hearts too:
