Subj : Chilies To : Shawn Highfield From : Ruth Haffly Date : Tue Dec 03 2024 12:14:16 Hi Shawn, RH> I shared a birthday with a cousin. She was quite a bit older than me RH> and lived out in California so I didn't see her often enough, never RH> shared a birthday celebration. SH> In my office, there are three of us who share the same birthday. We SH> are always getting a free lunch on the company and a cake since there SH> are three of us. :) Sweet! Since I'm self employed, I don't have any other workers to share my birthday with. There were times when they were still home, our girls made me a cake but they've long since gone out on their own. Steve usually takes me out for supper and sometimes will let our server know that it's my birthday, tho I'd rather he didn't. He gets a pumpkin roll (used to be pumpkin pie or pumpkin cake) for his birthday cake, plus going out somewhere. It's a low key day for both of us, tho I had a nice surprise this year--a call from our oldest grandson. RH> ham will probably wait until later in the week; found a package of RH> lentils on the shelf so they will go into soup with the ham bone. SH> Nice. Steve is gently pushing toward getting split peas for pea soup instead. I've an eye dr. appointment this afternoon, with some grocery shopping to follow, so will probably pick up some split peas. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 --- PPoint 3.01 * Origin: Sew!
