57th Birthday

Max and Maya and I did our daily 4 miler.
Everyone thought it was long enough.

Breakfast was hashbrowns, ham,
eggs, and cheese in a muffin pan.

The 57th birthday isn't a big milestone, but there is still plenty to celebrate. The big thing about most any birthday after 40 is that you've reached the point in your life where you can do whatever the hell you want. And that's what I did.

I stopped to rest at one point and Max agreed that it was
time to rest and even Maya didn't disagree.

Max has learned my "right" and "left"
commands at the intersections of trails.

This is Roo meeting the green dog of
Green Dogs Unleashed when we stopped by
for a visit.

Roo is going on a home visit on Saturday.

Neighbors Jan and Paul took Maya and I out
to the brewery Friday evening.

Maya ordering another round of MilkBones.

Jan made this cake from a recipe we both
found on Facebook. It's a Guinness cake with
Bailey's frosting. It was just as good as it sounds
and it was a perfect match for the porter.
