Birthday greetings

Today's my birthday, so instead of posting something about food and containing a recipe, I thought I'd just say that I'm grateful for my health, my family and friends, for the incredible abundance I have in my life thanks to the wonderful people who are part of it, and for all the good wishes I've gotten today. It's an absolutely gorgeous day here in San Diego, so I'm going to go for a walk. Tonite I'm having dinner with some friends at California Cuisine - yummm! I'll report back with our meal tomorrow. Meanwhile, I wish every one of you health, happiness and prosperity.

Oh - and the photos are my latest attempt at upgrading my photo skills. Here are just a few of the "munchies" I'm having today including Chuao chocolate with hazelnuts and cherries (STOP ME!!) and some beautiful roses sent to me by my brother David. Feedback on the photos welcome!
