The last day of March promises to bring more mild weather. It has been a beautiful March.
I had a wonderful birthday. K and L both called early and sang.
I took a big birthday cake to celebrate with my students. Sugar is usually a hit with sophomores. (I didn't remember to take this picture until after lunch, so half the cake is already gone!)
The principal started our Academic Assembly with a warm-up exercise for the student body: singing "Happy Birthday" to me. Unexpected and pretty sweet.
After school, K, CT, and the Bug went with us to meet L for supper. The Mr. hadn't even hinted at my birthday present. (He's usually really bad at keeping secrets.) They gave me a Color Nook. Talk about a shocker! I spent last night charging it, so I bet you can guess what I will be doing today. I'm probably searching Barnes and Noble online while you're reading this!
Ended the day with a Tiny Town resident calling and playing "Happy Birthday" on his horn. He is a retired band teacher, keeping his skills sharp, and spreading a little birthday cheer. Pretty nice!
Fifty-five is off to a good start. (And I think I am already sticking to yesterday's list!)

It sounds like you had a wonderful birthday!
What a great birthday! Here's to 55 more.
After reading about this book on npr's site, I bought it yesterday: "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed. Haven't started it yet, but it sounded interesting.

It reminded me of "Walk Across America" by Peter Jenkins which I read years ago and loved.

Just a couple suggestions for your new nook.
Blogger comments weren't working when I tried to wish you a happy birthday yesterday, so...Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Glad it was filled with happy! Let's keep the trend going! :)
