It's my daughters' birthday!

Hi friends. Today was my daughters' birthday. They both took the day off from work and wanted to spend it with their dad and I. We'll have a bigger celebration over the weekend when our son and daughter-in-law can join us. But today was pretty nice.

I made chocolate chip pancakes and bacon for breakfast. I haven't made chocolate chip pancakes in years. But I knew they'd love them. We discussed what they wanted to do today, and they decided they wanted to go to thrift stores in the area. And they wanted us to join them.

Anyway, we did some thrifting. (I came home with a rowing machine and some juice glasses.) After, we had a late lunch at Panera, using a gift card from my stepmom from several years ago. My daughters also picked up their birthday freebie while at Panera to take home.

I had about an hour to try out the rowing machine before making dinner. The rowing machine will offer some variety in my workouts, as well as work out new muscle groups. We had a beef and broccoli stir fry and some pad Thai along with tangerines for dinner. My daughters wanted to watch a movie on Pluto TV, Real Life (1979), then have cupcakes.

A very nice day spent with my two daughters as they celebrated another year in this life.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!

  1. Happy Birthday to your daughters! Sounds like you had a nice time together. And nice find on the rowing machine! I love mine though I don't use it nearly enough; it's a great change from walking now and then and I'm thankful for the option on days when the weather is less than ideal for walking/hiking and it's not my gym day. I hope yours will work out well for you.
