Today I am 59: I can't believe it! I love it when I hear that 60 is the new 40 -- doesn't that mean that 59 is the new 39?
No matter my chronological age, I still feel VERY young! I had a wonderful birthday celebration!
Last night Carl and I, along with our friends Bill & Susan, went to dinner at at new restaurant in New Braunfels, Liberty Bistro, and had a WONDERFUL dining experience. Then, today, Carl greeted me with a beautiful birthday card and we spent the afternoon watching the Cowboy game with Bill & Susan.
My primary birthday present from Carl was a GORGEOUS necklace and earrings he bought in Phoenix at the AAUW Convention from a woman who risks her life buying jewelry from women in Afghanistan at fair trade prices and selling them to women in America. The necklace and earrings are beautiful; what is even more beautiful is that Carl assisted women in countries that do not allow women the same opportunities that we enjoy in the US.
Happy 59TH to me!
