Happy Birthday, Mike!

Today is my sweetheart's birthday- the big 60th! He's been dreading it, like he did his 40th. He moped for weeks before his 40th birthday, lamenting all the things he hadn't done and places he'd never been. But he seemed to handle today's milestone with ease. I think he's just relieved to make it to 60 without having a joint replaced, all his own teeth, and still have bladder control. Actually, he's in damn good shape and just as handsome as the day I married him 25 years ago. He still makes my heart sing and pulse race.


We decided to go out to eat tonight, and of all the places to choose from in the Sarasota/Bradenton area, he picked Red Lobster for his birthday dinner. The man just loves Red Lobster seafood! Here he is giving his just delivered platter some serious consideration- what to taste first?






And here he is, just as his eyes began to roll back in his head with his first bite of lobster...( You must click this to see the close up detail of his rolling eyes and the food he's shoveling into his mouth- WARNING: May not be suitable for sensitive people)

I quickly smacked him and brought him back before he went into a full blown seizure. And notice how he has food in both hands. Watching him eat seafood is scary.


I had planned on having photos of Mike blowing out candles on his birthday cake, but he cut into it this morning and started eating it before I was even up.

Evidently, he's decided since he is now 60 he doesn't have to follow any rules anymore. And by gawd if he wants birthday cake for breakfast, he's going to have it! I say- Go Mike! Live with gusto and eat cake any damn time you want!


Happy birthday, Mike. I hope the next 25 birthdays we spend together are as good as the past 25. Love you!

Peace-
Linda
