To prove that I was not, in fact, angsty on my birthday, I offer this picture.
My mom and dad and my brother and I went for a drive in the hills and visited a couple of wineries. We went for a walk in the woods and had a picnic. Then we went to a vigil Mass, and then we went out to dinner with more family. Finally we came back home and had coffee and a fallen-chocolate-souffle cake. (YUM!!!) Mom and Dad, if you are reading this, thanks for a great day!

Oh, I wasn't worried :)
What a vista!
(can't think of a less-corny word for it, right now.)

Glorious view, but I think I love your hat more. ;)
Are you a hat person, by any chance?
I believed you! Still, it's nice you felt it necessary to post the photo. I'm sure I speak for all your readers when I say that we're ready to pack our bags for California, now, and want to stay at your house.

And this reader would also like to borrow your hats! =P
(I'll bring mine, too, so we can do temporary swaps!)
What a view ... I miss mountains!
Paul: Just doing my part to promote the tourist industry out here! ^_^
Enbrethiliel: I wish I had more hats than I actually do. I borrowed/appropriated that one from my mother. She bought it in Rome!
What kind of hats do *you* like? I have a little black newsy cap with white dots, a moss-green wool cap for cold weather, and... and... um, a gangsterish green ski hat that I wear while skiing. And the straw hat I stole from my mother, of course. Hats, hats, hats! Every one has a story.

I used to have a black polar fleece hat, but lost it to the Wellington winds! =(
Now I have a blue denim cap that makes me feel like I'm "workin' on the railroad;" a sheepskin hat that looks kind of like what people wore in the 1920s (but not quite); and a fuzzy purple hat that is, like Emerson's rhodora, its own excuse for being! (My sister, who is poetic at unexpected times, took one look at the purple hat and said, "It looks like you skinned Grimace to make that!")
I'd have more, but hats aren't a very popular item in the Philippines. I long for the day I will have a proper beret.
I don't imagine anyone really asked me, but still I'd like to play, too, if I may?
