birthday weekend

Tomorrow is Grey's 40th birthday. As I write she is off to ShopRite to get ingredients for her own birthday cake. She has her heart set on pink icing with a ballerina on top, and there was a certain amount of deliberation this morning about frosting and filling recipes. And cake tins. And choice of flour. The only thing not uncertain is the fact that some form of Chocolate will feature prominently.

We had been planning a camping weekend in Delaware but the timing turned out to be unfortunate for most of our friends, and now it's supposed to rain all weekend. So that's officially off, but we are looking forward to a visit with Michael and Kim at their shore house in Ocean City, Maryland.
