Today we attended a birthday party for my cousin’s daughter. Andy spent a lot of time in the pool playing with the kids. The little ones flock to him because he enjoys playing with them.
Today was a nice day weatherwise. We enjoyed being outside for the afternoon before heading home so I could get a little bit more sleep before heading to work. Apparently being locked out of the usual room at the office last night required a workaround that I did not try. When I came in tonight the day folks were in the room because they went through the room next door to get in. I should have known that a workaround was needed. Never have any weekend where a workaround is not needed.
I often share my birthday with other events. Back when I used to travel and go to movie premieres and stuff like that I had some incredible birthday adventures at age 41 and 43. I’ve also had birthdays where I’ve attended the annual Father Daughter dance at Eva’s school. Last year it was cancelled completely because of the pandemic. This year we could do a virtual father Daughter Dance. We bought kits that included sparkling cider, cups, a candle, a frame and a gift card to the whisk and paddle bakery. I think the actual date was for tomorrow night but I got a very good shave and a beard trim so that I could take my new license photo today.
We started off by getting dressed up. Eva was looking quite sharp in her vest and pants. She did her hair fancy, too. We opened the sparkling cider and had a toast.
Then we put on some music on our phones and danced a round for a while in the back yard. I can only wonder what the neighbors thought of that.
I took the night off from work so that we could celebrate. We had my favorite pizza and cake. We watched a few shows on Disney + and then Allison and I watched a comedy on Netflix called Thunder Force. It was funny. Weird at parts but funny just the same. It was a very nice birthday.
