Today was my 60th birthday, and I was showered with handmade gifts: Michael played “Days of Wine & Roses” and was so sweet to me, Jenny and Josh sang the song I wrote “Feelin Groovy,” Jenny made this website, Josh gave me chocolates and tickets to see David Sedaris, and our new friend Ale cooked all day, producing the BEST pasta I have ever eaten, as well as artichoke loaf, cabbage and grapefruit salad, chick peas cooked in water, and apple chocolate cake. Plus she drew me a still life, beautiful. Just a few days ago, Isaac and Emerson hugged me fiercely. Aidan held my leg all through karate. I drank it in. I am surrounded by beautiful children hooked directly up to the universe, and I bask in their energy. Also Michael has ordered more than 20 varieties of tomatoes and many other crops which I will list later. And I have ordered peonies and roses and lavender for the house we will buy on Thursday. I feel speechless. Ale plays Jr. PacMan too. I am so blessed. brava per me. si. genio ale. proseccolo.
