A new decade

It has been a nice day.  This is what I woke up to in the morning.

So, I was going to upload some pictures from today, but for some reason they are going on sideways.  I need to figure out what's wrong....

What a hassle it was getting that above photo posted!!   The picture is in its correct position on my computer, but when I would upload to anyplace from my computer, it went on sideways.   I had to upload the picture to Picasa Web Albums, where it of course went on sideways.  But in Picasa I was able to rotate it and blogspot accepts anything in Web Albums, so there you go.

AAANNYway, on the table there are breakfast tacos, a brownie, lotions from Bath and Body, pretty fall flowers and fruit and orange juice to accompany the tacos.  GREAT way to start off my 6th decade.

After breakfast we went outside to check out how our plants were doing after all the nice rains we've been getting.  We were on the side of our house and I was done with looking at the plants so I decided to go back inside.  Guillermo followed me a few minutes later and much to my surprise, when he came in, he showed me that he had been stung by a wasp!!!  Wow, that could have easily been me since I had passed through there just a few minutes earlier.  What a birthday present THAT would have been!!  Guillermo's arm got very red and swollen around the sting area and it stayed that way a good part of the day.

For lunch, we picked up Mom and celebrated at Pappadeaux Seafood Restaurant.  We had such a nice meal there.  Mom and I shared a Seafood Sampler plate and Guillermo had a plate with Fried Crawfish, Crawfish Etouffe and Dirty Rice.  I had my usual Swamp Thing drink, Guillermo enjoyed a beer and Mom had Earl Grey Tea.  It was a very enjoyable meal.
At Pappadeauxs.  My absolute favorite restaurant.

Guillermo's wasp bite finally started getting better in the evening.  He has been stung several times before, but was never affected like he was this time around.
