I turned 57 yesterday. My kids and my husband made vegan shakshouka, with chickpeas instead of eggs. Nixie made me a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, decorated with Reese's peanut butter cups. We opened an old bottle of champagne; Neal thinks my stepfather gave it to us, maybe as a housewarming gift? Or when Nixie was born? Either way, it's been sitting in the house for over twenty years, but it proved to be still bubbly and drinkable.

Nixie gave me an enormous sanseveria:




We got a good snowstorm last week, which cooled down both the Cameron Peak and East Troublesome fires. Neal's house got moved from mandatory evacuation to voluntary evacuation, so he went home last night. Nixie is still here.

The plant is awesome (and Nixie is stunningly beautiful).

Happy belated birthday!!!!

Sounds like a pretty good one. The plant looks great (and so does a happy Nixie). And who doesn't love a dog in the snow?

Happy birthday! You and my sister share a birthday--ETA: oops, no: your birthday was the 30th and hers is the 31st, my mistake. Also, you're just two weeks younger than I am--ETA: which means you're two weeks minus a day younger than I am ;-)

Congratulations on Level 57. The plant looks quite large, and the snow reminds me of where I grew up, including getting to see people's dogs encounter it and have a fun time.
