What a day

You'd think that my birthday would be a quiet one but we ended up in the car doing errands for most of it. We started out at the bank ... giving them our daughters's official names and social security numbers.  And to make decisions on how best to handle our retirement funds.
Then off to the square at Independence ( President Harry Truman's home town) for a birthday lunch at Ophelia's. I had a wonderful cauliflower and curry soup followed by large pan seared scallops with risotto . Bob had crab cakes and a HUGE burger all sorts of stuff on it - spinach, pork belly, pickles etc. Too full for dessert!
Then off to Knitcraft/Angelika'sYarn ... first time visit. Two different yarn stores in one place... also in Independence.
Then off to Home Depot to finish the paperwork on Lili's new bedroom carpeting. We found we weren't 100% sure which sample she preferred so we'd have to go back later.
Then home to wait for Lili's return from school  so she could text us her preference...
Then back to Home Depot to finish up and pay (!).
Home for a sandwich.... then Lili dropped in for a talk about her "future".
Time to pack for our trip to Branson tomorrow and for birthday cupcakes...
I think I am just about ready for bed!  Definitely feel all of my 74 years.
