No Fortune Cookie for You
We always go out to eat on our birthdays. It's a highlight for the birthday person to pick out the place and everyone embarrass them & make a big deal of their birthday. My family took great joy in doing this when we were growing up...my parents even started a spitball fight. It went down hill from there, but, that's a story for another time!
This year we did something a little different. Hopson & I decided to combine our birthday dinners with Harry's. We're December 26th, 30th and 31st. Yes, it's sad but true. But because Hopson & the children have spent so much time in the woods it was easier to do it this way.
We let Harry choose the destination of our birthday lunch. 8 times out of 10 my children will choose to go to a Japanese Steak House for their birthday dinners. I don't know why, but they love it & I think would eat it at least once a week.
Of course you can't leave until you've read your fortune. All of a sudden I hear Harry say: "hey mom, I don't have a fortune in my cookie". We all had a good laugh about it. I Googled to see what it means if you don't have a fortune in your cookie & couldn't find any meaning. But in typical Harry fashion, he went to get another cookie, so he did end up with a fortune after all.
Here is my fortune. I like what it said. I don't know if I have a charming way with words, but I have found it's very cathartic to write.
I have an update on Harry's driving. Today was day two & he's doing great. He jumps at any chance to drive which is nice, and he'll go & get the car warmed up for the rest of us, which is really nice! If you see him behind the wheel, just give a little friendly toot of the horn & I'll know you're saying 'hey'.
Celebrating Life!
