Technically me birthday was celebrated on OCt 18th because my birthday present to myself was the Hot Air Balloon ride! Then when I came home over Halloween, the youth and adults gave me some cupcakes, sang Happy Birthday and gave me a coupon book!
Well my actual birthday ended up being quite a day! This year my birthday will forever be written in history! My birthday is the day the first African-American President was elected! I don't particularly care whether you are excited about the decision this country made, either way it is a sgnificant moment in our history!
At lunch, my friend Lindsay stood up and in her "big girl voice" announced to the dining hall it was my 27th birthday and they all sang "Happy Birthday" to me!
That night Alvin said his son was coming to pick him up for dinner and wanted to know if I would join them! I knew I had plans to go bowling with Lindsay but knew she would understand me spending time with his family. I had no idea that they knew it was my birthday!! Bob showed up with a little planter with a pink rose plant and a card! We went and ate at a little Thai place here in Berkeley! It was a great dinner. Ruth joined us too!
After that Lindsay and I went to Albany Bowl and danced, bowled and had a great time! Our dance moves seemed to draw attention to us! The lane next to us were shouting "Break it down girls" and "Uh-oh, look at you go!"
The next day Karen from my Tuesday class took me to lunch at a little Sushi place off of Euclid. It was awesome too! I tried tempura for the first time and it was very delicious! She is a sweetheart! It was great to sit and visit with her about her journey and to just have a friend close to my age and interested in religion! That is something I miss in Oklahoma!
