My birthday...

Norman kept asking where I wanted to go for dinner on my 66th birthday. I couldn't think of a place. Finally I told him...for my birthday I want to do our first ever Volkswalk. So yesterday morning we drove into town and did a 10K (6.21 miles) walk through a neighborhood, to Joe Henry park, on a bike path along the Colorado River...and after losing our map...took a wrong turn and ended up in California
So?...OK, now we can see Paradise Indian Casino, and we're ready for lunch. We enjoyed a wonderful New York steak and French fries...yummy! Oh...no gambling...only had my sunglasses...lol...This is the mighty Colorado River behind me and my new super-duper #12 Seahawk jersey. And, yes, I took it off before going to bed

We got back to the motel where we started our walk, tired...

Along the way I took these two pictures. I've never seen a pomegrante (sp?) tree. This one isn't in season, so the pic is one of my "art-sy" photos. And the roses are just beautiful right now.




We never did figure out how to get pictures off my cell phone. We looked on the internet and even called the Verizon techs. So before heading home, we stopped at a Verizon store. The fellow opening the door for us gave me the answer. It is so simple!!! Why I didn't think of it, I dunno. And even the techs couldn't come up with this simple answer...I e-mailed G'ma Simpson to myself from my phone. Now isn't that EASY???

My day ended with cupcakes for our table provided by Margo at bingo last night. And since it was my birthday, I think I should have won something...but everyone at our table just played for the fun of it...a good time...a good day...
