Pea Soup and Birthdays

Fog! From this spot, looking south, I usually can see the sleeping Indian.  For the past few weeks we have had rain, fog, rain, fog and more fog. (pea soup)  STOP!  At above 7,000 feet in elevation, our gardens cannot be put in until Memorial Day usually, but now we are having some snow with the rain and fog and I am not so sure that this will just morph into winter.  Our lives here have been a little unsettled...the Mr. has had some small health issues and is doing just fine now, but even those small things interrupt our normal day to day living.  So there has not been much to put on this blog and in addition, this computer is in the ICU waiting for a replacement to arrive.  It is just becoming too old to do what it used to be able to do.......Wait, I had a birthday this week and I can relate although I am not ready for either the ICU or a replacement.  And speaking of birthdays, I try to celebrate all week.
My neighbor here also had a birthday the day before mine and she invited us and a few of our other neighbors for a celebration, but I had to make the cake!  I always make my birthday cake, but it was fun to be with them for a little party.  I also took cupcakes to my quilt group on Monday and have been out to lunch every day this week.  When you have had as many as I have had, might as well milk it for all it's worth.  Today we are lunching with friends from out of state who have come to say goodbye I fear.  We are all in the "golden" years and health issues are always a factor, but I think they should be called the "rusty" years.  Anyway one of these friends is suffering from dementia and we have not seen her in several years, so this will not be an easy day for us, but I fear it will be the last time we will see her.  Soooooo..until the weather improves and we see the sun again I will be retreating to my quilting and hope I will have a few more interesting things to blog about in the near future 'cause I have a lot of livin' to do yet in spite of the fact that the birthdays keep coming!
