Wednesday, May 30, 2012 – Bye, Bye, Birthday
It’s official:
Elliott is 100 years old – plus a few days. We both survived his celebration of a century (full report –
with photos – to follow later this week), and we’re making the transition back
to “normal” activities. We’re down
to two houseguests, Joel and Marshall, who are wonderful company and very low-maintenance. The return to the familiar rhythm of daily activities feels
so comforting after the hectic pace of the past week. When I heard my alarm go off at 6:30 this morning, I made
myself a bowl of oatmeal and changed into exercise clothes for our regular
workout at the gym. It was Elliott's first workout as an official centenarian.
After finding
volunteers to take the remaining cake, cupcakes, and crudités, there’s space in
our refrigerators once again. For
our post-workout snack, Elliott finished off the last piece of cake. Bye, bye, birthday, until next
year.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteHope our card arrived in time. We enjoy spot reading your blogs--you're a great writer. We just returned from our first river cruise gong from Amsterdam to Vienna. Our best wishes to Elliot--In a few more years he'll make the Guiness book of records.
