It's Birthday Month!

Yours truly celebrated my birthday with my family at Seacrets on the 17th. I'm getting old, and not liking it one bit.
It was my daughters suggestion to go to Seacrets as she was already in OC for the day. She promptly encouraged me to imbibe in their signature drink the 'Pain in the Ass' which is a Frozen concoction of Pina Colada layered on a frozen Rum Runner with a Myers Rum floater on top.
After two I couldn't feel the sunburn that I had incurred the day before.
Number 1 Son wasn't able to join us in the celebration as he was working and running around the nightclub keeping the club sounding great. He did stop by the table several times, but it wasn't the same.
We met there at about 5:30 and the 9 year old was having a great time exploring the grounds, although because of the state laws he wasn't allowed to go into the water or on the dock.

July is a big month in our home as Number 1 and my daughter were born 10 and 1/2 months apart. My son was born on July 29 of 85 and my daughter was born on July 9th of 86. Subsequently, they are the same age for 20 days every year. Funny thing is as much as they don't get along on a day to day basis they have become very very close over the last couple of years and it is a wonderful thing to see the love that they have for each other and for the nine year old.

I was out boating today with Himself and Himself's Herself on Himselfs new boat, when I received a call from my daughter telling me she was dropping by but wouldn't be able to stay long. I told her I probably would miss her as we were going to be a couple of hours. When I got home my dining room table was covered with presents. She bought me the most beautiful things. This from the daughter who we have always bought the presents and put her name on the tags for her family. Kids never cease to amaze me. She knows me so well as she bought me things that I would definitely buy for myself.

Tomorrow is my Grandfathers Birthday. We will be going to visit and make him dinner and a cake, and spend time with him. He is so independent, and so strong willed. He doesn't want or need anything, just time well spent with those he loves and those who love him. He will be 94 and he is absolutely amazing. I want to be like him when I grow up!

Sorry I haven't posted any pictures, my husband has had custody of the camera for the last few days, but I have lots to share.
