She's happy, taken care of, and [..... and???]
Ha!!! Hulk here, I stole the post. Woohoo!!!! I am so happy to have shared Baby's 30th with her. And man oh man do we ever have full days.
After a week that contained some ups and downs, Friday, aka Baby Day, dawned like a complete blessing and just got better:
- Crepes with Benji and Piggie, many hours on bikes, super best-he-could-muster dinner from Hulk (recipe for grilled stuffed tofu steaks to follow), and the day was capped off by waiting in line (jellybean hangovers and all) for our shiny, thick copy of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
- Saturday we slept in a bit, had cheesecake with strawberries and fudge for breakfast, and then availed ourselves of the really groovy bits about living where we do. It
is easy to get down on Albany for being...well, Albany. But sleep until nine, dither a bit, read Potter a bit, have some strong crrfeeee, decide to hike after all, head north, dither some more, Potter in the car, lunch in Keene Valley and poof!! What do you know? On the trail headed up Mt. Algonquin by 1:45. Up, down and back to the car before sunset. And do you know what? Master and mistress of serendipity (TM) that we are, we were the last car allowed in to park at the Adiron
dack Loj. We love being us. Except for the jellybean hangovers...What a beautiful hike, and what a beautiful day, Flashlight batteries, more Potter in the car on the way home and on Sunday, a much needed Day-In-Bed (TM) to have more cheesecake breakfast, devour more Potter, drink more crrfee, eat leftovers, shuffle around, prepare for Baby's class that she started teaching today, and just generally dig each other.
Photos from Algonquin and pre-Harry Potter adventure. Hulk went dressed as a Muggle, Baby dressed for some reason as the Cookie Crook...or maybe it was the Fitchburglar. Ain't she cute?
Until next time when Baby re-appropriates her post, that's all from me, Hulk'm-Skulk'm.
And happy birthday, Baby. Hulk loves you.
