Hum, 47…getting up there in age as 50 is right around the corner! My birthday fell on a Sunday this year. I love Sundays in California. We start the day with the farmers market to stock up on organic strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and salad…everything we have been missing in China. Our usual shop stops at the Apple store to “play” and the candy shop to “buy”. We enjoy lunch outside at Main Street Burgers. Eleri is not much of a red meat eater so we stop by Andale’s for her chicken tacos to enjoy.

Today, we had to rush our Sunday farmers market as Terri, Eleri and I have tickets to see Mary Poppins playing in San Jose. We left the chore of putting away the market buys to Andy. The musical was delightful – a fun way to spend a birthday afternoon.

After the musical, we went to a birthday pizza dinner. It has been a good birthday weekend celebration. The celebration began with birthday dinner at Mimi and Papa’s on Friday, Napa on Saturday and Mary Poppins on Sunday. You can always count on family to make you feel special!
