Lucky

That's me!  We went into Victoria today for my birthday and had a delicious lunch at one of our favourite restaurants which is near the end of this alley.  I was spoiled by family last weekend, by G today, and by friends, family and blippers who sent me birthday greetings.  I was surprised and delighted by the blip posted by my cousin, BeachesDoogie.  It brought back lots of happy memories.  We don't see each other often, but when we do, we always have great times.  Very lucky I am, and very grateful for all the special people in my life.
When we got home, there was a surprise by the garage door.  A mystery - and definitely a future blip once I solve it, if I do.  I suspect Muriel.
