Birthday donuts

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. We had no cake, but my sister left Dunford donuts on my porch and Emily left Ghiradelli Intense Sea Salt Soiree. Who needed cake?

I shared them on the front porch with Maxwell and Harrison when they dropped to give birthday wishes.

Tom and I celebrated by having dinner at the Road Island Diner in Oakley with Bill and Christine. Bill also has a September 11 birthday. He's a year older than I and prepares me for what's coming. Next year, I'll be deaf.

Christine gave me the best present: Poo Pourri and then had us watch the ad on her iPhone See it here: http://www.poopourri.com

No more smelly poops. It's a miracle!
