gerisullivanBirthday greetings and good cheer to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
malibrarian and iraunink, both of whom share this special day with me!
And many thanks to those who have posted birthday greetings in their journals.benyalow is taking me to dinner tonight at the Salem Cross Inn. Fingers crossed that we both find it as good as it looks.
It's a gorgeous summer day here at Toad Woods; it's good to relax and enjoy being home. I walked up to the Farmer's Market just before it closed at noon. The market is just across the street from the post office. It's the first time I've made that walk since returning home a little over a week ago; mostly I've been laid flat by the cold that followed me home from Manitoba.
It's a PEZ-filled birthday -- Ben added considerably to the Kosher PEZ collection he's been helping me build for years, and David Russell sent Australian PEZ along with a note saying he was hoping like crazy that the PEZ Board had moved from Toad Hall to Toad Woods. It did, and I'm delighted to have more Australian PEZ to hang from it.
David's box contained a total PEZ surprise -- I had no idea there were PEZ dispensers packaged with Kinder Eggs!
The Disney Princess PEZ promises that there are Winnie the Pooh figurines inside the chocolate eggs. I doubt that I'll be leaving this dispenser "Mint On Card" for long!

Date: 2007-07-22 02:47 am (UTC)I miss you. If the stars and circumstances ever align themselves properly, please do come to Toad Woods for a week or two before too many more years pass by. You would have loved identifying all of the prairie and woodland flowers, ferns, and thistles that were growing tall in my yard before I mowed most of them down this afternoon. The blackberries are ripening, and the red raspberries, too. Tasty! There aren't any mimeos in the basement, but there is the fan room...and the toy room, too!

Date: 2007-07-23 06:00 am (UTC)Was today notable in some way in the Pez universe? In the Oregonian's Sunday comics section 'The Elderberries' and 'Bizarro' are next to each other and both had Pez references.
