I had a very nice birthday today.  Stuart and I took the day off together.  After dropping off the boys to school, we arrived at a driving range to warm up first.  It has been at least over a year since we played, and I was happy that my hits were not horrible.  After a big bucket of balls, we moved on to to play at a par-3 short course.  We were following a group of slow playing retired gentlemen, so we had plenty of time to play our game.  Stuart did quite well except a bad hole where he hit the trees twice.  I was very happy with most of tee offs, but my score was up and down as usual.  However I did have a great birdie that I was quite excited about.  After the game, we had lunch and took a short break in the house.  Then we spent a couple of hours shopping for blinds for the house.

     We picked up the kids earlier for dinner.  Connor was so happy at pick up and he was still talking about my birthday that the teachers were well aware of it too.  We had a nice dinner and I was stuffed from a big seafood feast.  We then headed home for the highly anticipated cake.  The boys sang me the birthday song and we ate small piece of cake as we were all stuffed.  At bedtime Connor was asking if it would be my birthday anymore after he woke up from sleep again.  Then he started wondering who would have the next birthday among us, so I told him.  His memory is very good, and since then he has been rehearsing to Stuart and I the order of the upcoming birthdays.
