For my 70th I invited my walking group back to the house after a walk, probably about 20. My sister searched the internet and found a private house not far away from me where the lady made cupcakes to order. Of course I had to pick them up.

I hope that you have a speedy healing, and that you are able to have your friends over for tea and cakes.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
Happy weekend everyone! Hope that you are are relaxing and having a good day.
Went out for some groceries today, that I'll use on Tuesday. At my job instead of giving you something for your birthday, the birthday person brings in something. Usually it's breakfast, but this year I decided to do something different, and bring in lunch.
I went out today and got a bunch of sandwich rolls, mayo, mustard, oil, vinegar, and large bags of chips. On Tuesday morning before I go to work, I'll stop at the store and get fresh lettuce and tomato, and a large selection of fresh cold cuts, and everyone can make sandwiches for lunch.
I've also decided that I will give myself a present for my birthday, but not until June. I'm going to go buy a new car. My current car is 15 years old, and starting to show her age. It's time for an upgrade. I've not decided what one to get, but I'm leaning towards a Chevy. My current car is a Chevy, and she's lasted this long, and has had no major problems. Still has original transmission and engine, the only replacements have been basic maintenance, brakes, shocks, filters, stuff like that. The radiator was replaced once.
I do like how the 2019 Chevy Trailblazer looks, but I'd have to drive one to see how she handles. This is the model and color I would want.

My third car, and the only new one I've ever owned, was a Chevy, and it never gave us a bit of trouble. I should never have gotten rid of that car, but at the time I was young and stupid and wanted something more sporty.

I'm past the "young and stupid" age, and I think I've safely passed or suppressed the "midlife crisis" feelings, so I won't be getting anything "sporty". I do want a model that is a little bigger than the one I have now. I feel like anyone who sits in the back seat is a little cramped.
serious crayons:
I've owned two new cars, three inherited used cars, and two purchased used cars, including the car I drive now. I bought it when it was three years old.
It's still working pretty well seven years later. The body doesn't look great (multiple fender-benders, like the time the plastic garage cans attacked the side of my car and the time a telephone pole ran into the bumper. But functionally, it's fine, and still has low miles (90,000) for its age (10 years). I believe that's less than Chrissi said she drives in a year! In Europe, where gas is probably still kind of expensive.
It's a Mazda 3, which is semi-sporty for an ordinary compact car. But it dents more easily than, say, SUVs.
