Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I had an excellent birthday. Spent the day on the beach, even the flies left us alone. Went back home to find beautiful flowers from my sweet husband and my 4 legged babies. Had a great dinner. Falcons won! Great day!!!!

 Have tried 2 new resturants, thanks to the board. Old Florida Fish House, WOW it is excellent. Also, Smiling Fish Cafe. Loved it. Great food and folks.

On the way to the beach. It's good to be back in SoWal. :clap_1::clap_1::clap_1:

Sometimes, it's the gifts you don't have to unwrap that mean the most!

I really like having "birthday week". This may have to become a tradition.
