It’s my mom’s birthday today! With my dad at work, we spent the whole day together in what turned out to be a pretty packed (and excellent) agenda, including:

  1. Carry out brunch from Big Easy
  2. My gift to my mom: matching T-shirts (“Camp Half-Blood” T-shirts from the Percy Jackson books, which she’s also reading)
  3. Stopping for cookies and truffles at the local bakery
  4. A walk in a new area (to me) near Sister Bay
  5. Some impromptu shopping at a few of local stores
  6. Another bakery, more cookies (my mama loves bakeries)
  7. Another walk closer to home
  8. Hot tub time
  9. We’ve just ordered pizza . . .
  10. Tonight: pizza, a few drinks, and a movie at my place

I’ve had a lot of fun . . . and I think she has too! We spent her birthday together last year together too when she came down to Texas to see me run my half-marathon in San Antonio. Just a week before everything shut down . . . I’m lucky after a year we can still spend her birthday together in a completely different context.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

With Love,
