Turning 54 isn’t so bad! I got calls from Bill, Erin and Katie. Connected with my sibs and mom, and wrapped up the day with a birthday serenade.<\/p>\n

We finally bit the bullet and forced ourselves to get our packing done for the Europe trip. After a couple hours of pulling items from drawers and cupboards, and packing and unpacking items, I think there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Bill scored at the grocery store today! Sudoku puzzle cards! We’re try to keep those mental juices flowing during the 24 hours of flying and down time between Fairbanks and Brussels!<\/p>\n

Bill finished replacing our new door knob after multiple trips to the hardware store for the correct specifications. We have a “special” door latch. Seems it’s not the standard size. After two trips to the hardware stores we now have a working door again!<\/p>\n

Later I was sewing neck coolers for the trip when I heard laughter coming from outdoors. (I was braced for it after a mysterious telephone tip by someone with a unique French accent.)<\/p>\n

Upon opening the door I was serenaded by three has-been chicks. Yup! It was the LLL gone big hair. They were pretty impressive singing happy birthday with a concertina back up while smoking bubble gum cigarettes at the same time. (Talented bunch I run with!)<\/p>\n

Thanks for the wonderful birthday brightener ladies! (I didn’t ask where they were heading for the rest of the evening…..)<\/p>\n

Can’t forget to mention the wonderfully healthy birthday muffin from “The -Not-So-Good” Kim.\u00a0 Going to have to get this recipe!<\/p>\n
