Birthday

On the radio today, they said Louis Armstrong (born August 4th) always wanted people to celebrate him on July 4th instead. I can't think of a more American family tradition to start than listening to Louis all day on the 4th each year!!

Tomorrow is my birthday! I will be 23. I am volunteering at the Eno River Festival all morning and then finding a nice shady spot on a blanket the rest of the day. There is a booth there every year that sells wonderful handmade wooden children's toys... and of course Parlez Vous Crepes will be there!

My kitty very, very carefully climbed up onto my belly to snuggle me.



I forgot that Ash took a picture while I was on the acupuncture table:
