He keeps saying that, so I guess that is how he thinks of his 60th birthday. Happy birthday, Keith!
He started his day super early. He woke up, got up, and had Pandora blueberry Frosted Flakes. Frosted Flakes are his favorite and he looked at the blue Pandora version several times before I just put them in the cart Friday night. Bam. Birthday breakfast.
He opened his Ted Lasso-themed presents – an AFC Richmond shirt and Fisher Price people of Ted, Rebecca, Keeley, Sam, Coach Beard, and Roy Kent!
We floated in the hot tub and watched it snow (yes) and talked about the concert last night and started planning the program for the next concert. I had ideas! He is always asking me for ideas, and I am not really an idea person, but today I suddenly had an idea for an arrangement for him to do. Win win.
We had leftover pizza from pre-concert dinner last night for lunch and it was delicious.
We went to Stillwater to the Compass Rose Brass concert. CRB is a brass 10tet (Metro brass was originally a brass 10tet, but it grew to accommodate more music and added percussion just to be way more awesome). It was a nice concert. The audience was only 30 people and I wished they had more people to hear them (as always). We celebrated again how lucky we were last night with the great audience Metro Brass had.
We went to Patriot’s Tavern for dinner. We both had the Ale Potted Beef sandwich and fries and dipping sauces. It have absolutely no idea what they do to roast beef for that sandwich but it is GREAT.
We came home to a cold house because we turned the heat off when it was 84 degrees and hadn’t turned it back on. Tom and Louise dropped presents off while we were gone, so he got to have more fun opening treats from them (candy and spicy pickles! It’s fun when people know you). We watched Abbott Elementary and I immediately fell asleep. I’m fun that way.
He started an arrangement for Ain’t That a Kick in the Head and now is practicing. Tomorrow he starts another trip around the sun.
Here’s to many, many more trips around the sun. Life is good. Keep smiling!
