78th Done and Dusted

As of yesterday, I have begun my 79th orbit around the sun, grateful for the previous 78 journeys.

The flashing Happy Birthday that we now use and reuse instead of candles.
It was presented with the birthday pie.

Family celebration was pizza at Sha's for Sunday supper. The pics were most atrocious, but here is one of me receiving my birthday pie — a delish, crumble-top blueberry. Nowadays, we often tend to do birthday pies or whatnots instead of cakes. We actually did birthday cookies for JJ.

On the actual day, yesterday, Sue took me to Freska where I ordered my usual, gargantuan Chef's Bowl.

I wore my new, birthday shirt.

I took a picture-in-picture selfie using the FB app.

Afterward, we took a short walk to the bridge. We took looking upriver before picking up a chocolate chip cookie for dessert at the Blue Spoon. I did manage to get the cookie home before consuming it, but it was a close call.
