I had a wonderful day at the beach for my birthday. We took egg sandwiches, chips and fruit for lunch. I did some watercolor in my Bible and worked on a craft while enjoying the warmth of the sun, the cool breeze and the sights and sounds of the people enjoying the beach. I did not do a good job with the suntan lotion, and I am burnt! I am covered with coconut oil with lavender oil. At least I smell good!
My daughter took her birthday girl to the Orange County Fair with a couple of her friends.
3 years away from 70!
Hubby took this of me water coloring in my Bible.
Dinner at the Crab Cooker in Newport Beach (Orange County)
This is one of the places we came to when we were first dating 50 years ago!

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song tells the story of a man who has made a career in radio. How many professions have you worked in? 4. The longest was with the US Postal Service - 36 years.
2) He describes himself as "45 going on 15." This morning, do you feel older or younger than your years? I am writing this Friday night. Happy for my birthday at the beach. I think I will be hurting in the morning because I am sunburned. I felt like a kid at the beach while collecting shells.
3) He estimates that he's traveled thousands of miles, from town to city, as disc jockey at various stations. Have you ever relocated for a job? No
4) This song is written as though he's reached out to an ex. Is there someone from your past who is on your mind this morning? My husband and I were talking about my old boyfriend from Jr High. My husband met him at our church camp after I graduated.
5) Tell us about a radio personality you grew up listening to. Huggie Boy?
6) This week's featured artist, Harry Chapin, was an Oscar nominee. Before he became a musician, he wrote and directed a documentary about boxing called Legendary Champions. When you sit down to watch a movie, would you prefer action, comedy, drama, fantasy, horror, mystery, romance, thriller or documentary? There is a new movie with Diane Keaton that seems funny. I would like to see that. Hubby wants to see the Elvis movie so we will probably see both.
7) Today Harry Chapin is fondly remembered for his philanthropy. He filled his calendar with benefit concerts that supported local food banks all around the country. How would you like to be remembered?
As a woman that loved the Lord. A good mom, loving grandmother who taught Bible journaling, and a good friend.
8) In 1973, when this song was popular, one of the top-selling toys was a Curious George book packaged with a plush Curious George. Can you recall a favorite book from your childhood? I liked the Little House on the Prairie series. Little Women and Trixie Belden.
9) Random question: Here's $100. What will you spend it on? (A postage stamp. Original answer because I thought it was $1.00! I would put it away for mt girls get away next month.
