Hi. I just subscribed which was a learning experience for me. I enjoyed Big Birthday. I remember being your age and starting a new job and feeling very over the hill. Little did I realize that 45 is a great age to be. Still young! Travelling in your own little “house” sounds like a great idea. Stay safe. Susan

I finally am a founding member of something I believe in! That's my birthday gift to me as I am about to turn 65! I didn't even know that was possible. I am seeing life and the world through you and Django...what a gift that is for this almost 65 year old!

I sound like a goddamn John Denver song, being born in my *something something* year.

Yeah, having an issue with calendar years; must be a math thing...

Anyway, breakfast food, on your birthday, with a dog, is pretty much the fucking Trifecta baby!

I love this post!--am I supposed to? How are you today? I’m glad you worked things out with your Dad. Django will forgive the fried bread, probably. Happy Birthday, with moments of grief in there, too.

Thank you love! I'm good! This is a re-post so no fried bread today... yet! But thank you for the wishes! Happy to be two years wiser than I was back then

Thank you so much Natalie, very witty! you’ve got me thinking about birthdays & yes you are right… why not celibate them, celebrate like your 6 & your best chums are coming round to eat piles of sweeties & watch raiders of the lost arc for the 100th time! 🥰 my 50th is coming up & I may very well do that 🥳 xx
