Today I reached the allotted span of three score years and ten. After extended celebrations with family (early to avoid a clash with the birth of Great Nephew #2) and then with friends (early to avoid a clash with a public holiday long weekend in New Zealand), today I finally reached the actual day. Little Sister kindly drove up to take me to lunch and we had a delicious stuffed potato and then shared a small cheesecake and a pot of tea at a local cafe before she willingly filled the role of personal shopper and assisted me to buy a couple of summer tops.
It has been a happy day. The two Biblical Birthday celebrations that are recorded ended in beheadings but my day was nothing so dramatic. Just a splendid day filled with thankfulness for happy memories and love as well as the anticipation of what years to come may perhaps hold.
