Substitute Birthday

Ha ha ha ha ha! I love playing with pictures! You need to click on this to get the full effect...

My substitute birthday was good! I was not ill. Tim and I went out for breakfast and then drove to the peak of Sandia Mountain here and hiked a bit. It was cloudy, and there is nothing more mystifyingly beautiful in the mountains than the way that clouds linger and move like ghosts around the peaks, with the sun shining through at various times. It is breathtaking.

Ooh, I'm hanging over the cliff!!

Maddie did NOT want to go near the edge. Smart dog!

Just a cool shot...

That night I made myself a birthday cake and blew out 34 candles! Yikes! I think pretty soon I won't be able to use that many candles. It's difficult for one person to light so many, you know, and finish before the first candle is a glob of wax on the frosting.
Hey, I haven't figured out the links yet, but go see Tim's blog for his work at timskustoms.blogspot.com. Okay? Go now. :)
