With this birthday, I am well and truly into the autumn of my life. If there's one thing I've learned:
Life is uncertain; eat dessert first! - Earnestine Ulmer, 1925
I share a birthday with my late grandfather Monette. I remain thankful for his positive impact on my life.
Dessert was prepared by my dear friend Gabrielle at her beautiful chateau near Versailles.
Belated birthday greetings, Tara! I hope you had a wonderful day with lovely people surrounding you! I so enjoy your view of the world--must be that "seasoned" experience! All the very best in your new year!

Yes, I had someone not to long ago say the same thing to me about eating dessert first. I so agree. Happy Birthday to you, dear Tara. Savor each and every day and celebrate long.
