I turned 36 yesterday and people have asked if I feel older. The honest answer is no. I feel like all the birthdays so far in my 30's are pretty much the same. The numbers don't mean too much. I think it will start to hit my radar when I reach 40. I still think I am young and try to convince myself that I just graduated from high school just a few years ago. Then I attend a function with high school kids present and realize that I am getting older. I have lots of gray hair which is something I get from my Dad. If you have seen my older brothers or my Dad, you will see that I will be either 100% gray or 100% white. Both are fine with me.
I do want to thank my family for a wonderful day. I was spoiled on Sunday as you can see below. Linda made one of my favorite dinners. She made short ribs with mashed potatoes and all the trimmings. Then they spoiled me with my favorite cake. I don't know what to call it, but it is good. As you can see from the picture, they piled Meredith's homemade ice cream on top! Not a bad way to finish the day!
Just as a side note: the extended family is getting better at singing happy birthday without my assistance. They still have room for improvement, but they are getting there. Luckily they only have to do this unassisted once a year.
