Happy Birthday to my birthday girl, I love you but this is a tad late (May 27th)

In addition to birthday cake twice at Aaron/Amy's Terry found this unique clock at the Frank Lloyd Wright Center

Terry received this beautiful best ever arrangement of flowers from her daughter Kim

At John/Mary's Terry had birthday cake, got a Trinity shirt and her 2015 edition of the Trinity review
Terry does not celebrate birthdays, rather she celebrates "birthday month" but sadly it came to an end on Monday.  I would say she did fairly well during the month.  I will have to ask her to see if she agrees.
I have given in and come to the conclusion that I am not young any more and I am soft!  I worked much of yesterday outside and in the garage.  I gathered about 8 cubic yards of yard waste and drove it to the compose pile, I uncovered the sail boat that we have in the back yard and then scrubbed it and washed it.  We have listed it for sale so thought it needed some care in case anyone calls. I worked on my knees for about an hour pulling weeds.  I climbed into the garage attic and got down 4 large pots.  After all that, this morning I ache in many places and actually hurt in more!  I know I am out of shape but really, it is not necessary to be so so bad.  I guess I will swallow my pride and admit that age does not build more  muscles and it does yield a young and resilient body to one that is not so eager to work hard.  But, I will be outside again today.
Now that I am in St. Paul, I am using one of my favorite coffee cups.  As I sip on my FP this morning I see that the cup has a green and a red tent.  I am reminded that the last time I tented was 2011 and it was a wonderfully fun time with Terry but now I have yielded to an enclosed camper where you can turn on the TV, turn on the AC and then in the morning plug in the toaster!  Times change. 
Talking about change, I realized yesterday that I do not change fast enough.  In the garage/wood shop there is a green canvas dividing the two.  The garage floor is about 14 inches higher than the shop and I used to have car ramps that you could drive out on and change the oil etc.  Well, I have not done that for a long time but the green canvas has hung there, dividing the two forever.  I could have used that wall space a long time ago.  What can a person hang on a piece of canvas other than a painting which I am not into.  So yesterday, perhaps years late, I cut the canvas down and will now put up a wall that I can use for my woodworking.  Change, I need to be more in tune with it.
FP gone.
