Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy birthday to me! Today I am 35 years old, and to celebrate I went down to Starbucks to enjoy my free birthday drink and read Mary Stolz’s Frédou, an enchanting children’s book about a cat who owns a hotel in Paris. (His owner left it to him in her will.) Delightful to wander the streets of Paris with Frédou! And I loved this description of a cat’s nose, “black as a truffle.”

For lunch I have an everything croissant. Then a peaceful afternoon sipping tea and eating a pain au chocolate, and then dinner with friends tonight! A most relaxing birthday.
