This morning I opened a birthday card
and read this:
I Love Everything About Being Us
A kiss that leaves me smiling.
A joke that makes me laugh
A text, a call, a message.
A random photograph.
A heart-to-heart discussion.
A getaway for fun.
Our running list of projects
or one that’s finally done!
Some quiet time together – no problems, plans or fuss…
celebrating every day
of us just being us.
Happy Birthday!

I read this little card aloud with a lump in my throat, as I periodically paused to laugh out loud.

“A getaway for fun”
is mentioned in this card and we did just that on my birthday this year.
Originally we had planned to visit Yosemite National Park, but with all of the COVID19 hullabaloo, the reservations were cancelled a few weeks prior, and new, airplane-free plans were made.
We were able to make those plans happen and enjoy a couple of nights in a resort on the Gulf of Mexico.

The suite was amazing.
WOW was the word of the day.
This is the entryway…
And this is our arrival selfie from the living room…
“A random photograph”
I wasted no time checking everything out.
There were 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3 balconies. Also a small kitchen/dining area with an adjoining living room.

On birthday Monday, we hit the beach.
We spent most of the day under the umbrella, but would occasionally have to walk to the ocean to cool off. On one occasion, while walking back to my chair, I noticed a patch of shells.
I stopped to run my fingers through, and while there, was met by a new little friend.She was interested in my “combing” through the sand, and decided she would help me.So much for social distancing!
We had a little chat about pretty shells and then she went on her way to enjoy her June 1st day at the beach.
Later in the evening, LB and I took a walk that would eventually lead us to a MEXICAN restaurant!Carmelita’s Mexican Restaurant
The sunset over the ocean later that evening was the perfect end to a perfect day!
“Some quiet time together – no problems, plans or fuss”
…celebrating MY Birthday
by us just being us.
