The sun came up,
a sugar bun and a glass of grapefruit juice awaited me on the kitchen table.
I got dressed: a black dress, hair tied back, red lipstick.
Annie made me a tarte. I am born on the same day as her daughter, funny isn't it?
Star won the hand knocker, Alan was a close second.
Nothing special planned today, all is good, and that is a gift in itself.
French Husband is making lunch, I bet it will be pasta with olive oil and garlic.
The phone rings, my friend Frances says, "Happy Birthday! What are you doing special today?"
I say, "Oh nothing much."
She says, "Maybe there will be a surprise!"
And I laugh, "Now, that would be a surprise!" then we both laugh.
Life is good. If fifty-three wasn't my favorite number I would think it meant I was older, but since it is I believe it means it is going to be a very good year.

Thank you for your responses yesterday. I love this blog community on Tongue in Cheek, all of you are the best gift of friendship ever.
What do you do on your birthday? My mother use to make a dessert of my wanting, she made Portugeese beignets. I usually do not celebrate my birthday… but I do think about it all day long.
