You may notice a few changes on the ol' RV Goddess website lately. Deciding to go plain and simple... I simply removed the foo-foo. Maybe next week, I will add the bling again. Who knows? Anyway, a little change is good. And I like to keep my readers guessing. Especially since today is my birthday and I have been feeling a bit mossy.
I suppose I could use all sorts of metaphors about being in the "autumn of my life"? I like that my birthday is around the Jewish New Year. Harvest. School starts. Another New Year for me. New Beginnings.

I have grey hair.

I'm over-chubby.

And then there is gravity.

But I just don't work that way. I just see pretty leaves. Truly, I suck at the entire metaphor thing. I am just happy to celebrate another trip around the sun - and happy and blessed to love and be loved.
I had three visitors this morning:
Free buffet lunch: they never eat the poison oak though
Pretty Momma
The little baby is so pretty
Adorable

Lady? Why do you take so many photos of us?
So sweet
Back to My Day.
DT gave me a new tea kettle, as our old tea kettle died. Hubby didn't know he bought me a new tea kettle until it showed up on the porch (Amazon.com, of course) this afternoon, but he was very pleased with himself just the same. Wasn't it ironic that I was drinking a cup of English tea when an email arrived declaring I had won 1.5 million English Pounds Sterling? I did the math (well, I didn't do the math, I used a calculator) and my lotto prize equals $2,295,809.81 US dollars! Woo Hoo! (That's millions for the comma-impaired.) Drinks are on me! This couldn't have come at a better time too - I haven't had an unknown Nigerian relative die in a plane crash - leaving me millions - in months.
Could my day get any better?
Yes! I ran two miles (without stopping). Which is a good because My Loving Husband brought me two (one for each mile) chicken strips as he knows the deep-fried treats are irresistible (as he is) to me. Later DT took me to dinner with friends at one of my favorite restaurants! Since it was My Birthday, and I was able to choose My Favorite Cake... so I baked my own and carted it to the bistro. Aren't I terrible? Well, I wanted a good cake - so I baked my Ricotta Cake. Yummers. When Dave sent out the invitation he specified "no gifts, unless you want to give me something". Dang if he didn't garner a basket of wonderful gifts from our friends... including a lovely hand-made needlepoint pillow - from Nancy.
I hope DT gives this pillow to me
A wonderful birthday.
Until my next update, I remain, your mossy correspondent.
