er… I mean indigenous people’s day! When I was in grade school, we always had this day off from school – not a random Monday! This was special to me because

there was always a school holiday for my birthday.

I just realized that I must update my profile and I am getting awfully close to 70 ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù why don’t I feel like I am that old?

Later today Mark and Jayme are arriving. Mark is going to transform our front landscaping. Tomorrow, while he and Mr C are working, Jayme, Steph, M & M and I are going to Sauvie Island to partake of the annual pumpkin activities. M & M have no school tomorrow. Tomorrow night, M & M are staying overnight because their Mom and Dad are going to a concert. Then, finally, on Saturday, we will celebrate my birthday.

I love a party. There have been times in my life when I had so many different groups of people that I dealt with that I have had 3 or 4 birthday parties. These days, I am lucky to get one!!
