today I am 40

...and I don't feel any different. :)

We had king crab legs, shrimp, and roasted asparagus for dinner. Not much in the way of local dining, but IT WAS GOOD! :)

And, I did see a female harrier at one place, male harrier at another, on the way home. The male practically flew into my windshield. Harriers are, I think, the most flight-gifted birds in the world. I also saw an immature bald eagle and a flock of about 12 wild turkeys near my home.

Brain food for dinner and great birds for viewing- bodes well for your 41st year! Happy Birthday to you! My 40s were a wonderful decade; I think most women feel good about themselves as they get to be "of a certain age."
Mature but still young. :-)

gina- I did enjoy it very much, just the company of my family and some good food. Sorry we didn't make it to Duluth Saturday night; my stepson was having a birthday party (23rd) so that pre-empted all our available prospects for child care!

madcap- much enjoyed, much appreciated. And I do apologize, that brew book is still sitting there at work, in an envelope, I the great procrastinator. Will get it mailed off...tomorrow. :)

vicki- "Mature but still young"; That is exactly what I want to be, and what I feel like going into this new era of my life.
