Wed 4 Sept

Hippo birdie to me. Thanks so much for the cheery email - it made me smile. Hoping to make the best of the day and the upcoming year to be the best I can be. Had a lovely birthday. Michael, Kate, & Val sang Happy Birthday to me on a voice mail. We actually had another coworker's birthday lunch belatedly scheduled for today so I went out to lunch but still have my own to look forward to. Dad and I had a great birthday dinner at Red Mill. When I came home, there was a beautiful mum plant by the back door from Hartmans! Nice day.
