sam's 45th

so nice. holiday weekend. drinking coffee, coconut water. eating fresh cut (by my wonderful husband) watermelon. watching u.s. open. looking out at the trees around donner house. so nice.
kitchen scene. john's reading a magazine. sam's putting together her daily routine of bags to go to her day's event. preparing food. eating food.
conversation...
john - "sam, what do you want for your birthday dinner? i can barbecue up anything you want."
sam - "i like the meat thing."

so there you have it. dinner will be the meat thing.
note to self...must go to the market to get myself the non-meat things. glad i am learning to take care of my needs too. my old self i would have just been concerned with making sure sam's birthday was about making sam happy. but i am learning. yes, i have her birthday cake covered. i just didn't make it. too hard to make a cake while not eating sugar. hey, that's ok. there will still be yummy cake to celebrate her special day.
sam is getting older and thankfully i am feeling wiser.
