Get Out Get Going Have A Birthday, Or, Saturday Morning at 7:08am

Huddart-Park-Dean's-Trail-Hike

This week my daughter turned 29. Hoo boy. She also came home, as all her friends are getting married this summer, some of  them in Northern California.

On her birthday itself, we went hiking. In Huddart Park, in case you are familiar with the Bay Area.

She, as always, since birth even, a glorious creature.

Me proving that yes, there is an outfit Ray-Bans can’t fix. Water bottle in hand.

Look-Up

And both of us dusty, hot, peaceful and happy. Surrounded by trees. Exclaiming at three pileated woodpeckers and a California Sister butterfly we didn’t even bother to photograph. Happy birthday honey. It is a pleasure and constant honor to be your mama.

  8. Happy Birthday to your girl! You both look beautiful. You, and your outfit, Ray-Bans or no, look wonderful. You are a beautiful woman who passed that beauty along to her daughter, blonde version to ginger version. I’m so glad you got to spend time together; that you take delight in each others’ company; and that you got to spend time in such glorious nature. There is nothing better than all of that. Thank you for sharing the joy. It makes me happy too. xo.
