A very special birthday celebration

After unarguably the worst birthday I have ever had yesterday, today was a very refreshing and pleasant contrast. Although yesterday was actually my 54th birthday, I spent a wonderful day today with my sister, Robin (aka Aurora Skye). I originally wanted to make us a homemade dinner of stuffed shells with ricotta cheese and Sicilian sauce made from scratch (YES, I can cook! lol) but with all of the turmoil which went on in the past couple of days, it was just not in the cards. So, I bought the ingredients and made us dinner anyhow ...

To go with our meal, I bought a bottle of Arbor Mist and a special treat I found ~ Mint-flavored Rum

And, my sister surprised me with a delicious red velvet cake (my favorite!)  YUMMY! ...

And some awesome birthday gifts as well ...

Scented Pisces/Astrology candles and pocket hand sanitizer.

I also received a lovely gift from Brett. A real cameo brooch of Amphitrite, wife of Poseidon ...

(In ancient Greek mythology, Amphitrite (/æmfɪˈtraɪtiː/; Greek: Ἀμφιτρίτη) was a sea goddess and wife of Poseidon and the queen of the sea.^[1] Under the influence of the Olympian pantheon, she became merely the consort of Poseidon and was further diminished by poets to a symbolic representation of the sea. In Roman mythology, the consort of Neptune, a comparatively minor figure, was Salacia, the goddess of saltwater.)

Goodnight all!
