Sarah is 21

Friday, February 12 was Sarahs official birthday. She turned 21. That was a work day so we postponed her little party until tonight (Saturday).
This morning we did some girl shopping. I love birthdays just because it's a rare time to loosen the purse strings and have a bit of fun.
I think these are the things she got; pajamas, long sleeve black shirt, necklace, earrings, lotion, an I.K.E.A gift card, money from grandparents and a really interesting houseplant from her brother.
She asked for a big chocolate cake from Costco. We'll never eat it all fast enough, so most of it will go in the freezer. We've done this before and that cake lasted about 4 months.
I only had 19 candles, so Sarahs brother used 5 candles and lit them to represent binary numbers. Don't ask me to explain that, ask the college student.





Believe me it's not easy to get a cooperative picture of this girl. She's so self conscious.



Getting set to blow out her binary lit candles (whatever)


Happy Birthday Sarah. You are a neat girl.

Symphony night

Last night (Friday) Joe and I rode Trax (light rail) up to Salt Lake to attend the Symphony. Mom and Dad gave us their tickets since mom is still in a cast.
We got up there an hour early and used the time to browse in the Church History museum which is a short walk from where Trax let us off.





The Symphony played some lively music, including some Glen Miller and others. After intermission a group called 'Big Bad Voodoo Daddy' carried the rest of the program. The Symphony continued as background support.

Here is the program:
Hungarian Dance no. 5 in G Minor
Sabre Dance from Gayane
Dance of the Comedians from The Bartered Bride
On the Beautiful blue Danube Waltz
Big Band Sounds

Intermission

Come on with the "Come On"

So that was our Friday night and now it's back to a regular old day. At least the sun is shining.
