BIRTHDAY JOURNAL and PIX
4-23-04

51st Bday today
several eCards

had lunch with pastor and another wonderful member of the church staff
Seafood special in Deep Ellum
This is the best church fit I have had in more than 20 years

dear student friend and wife gave invite for home cooked meal
as a single man that is treasured

dear student gave me a carrot cake, bananas, turkey, card and cash
took cash to favorite shop Two Sisters on Gaston an bought the following
Lemon Pepper Trout, Cherry tomatoes, & Feta salad,
Broccoli & heart of palm salad and fruit salad and Arizona Tea

Dad and Pili gave funds from for clothes
went to the GAP in North Park
2 pairs of pants less than half price
both were 49.50 marked down to 19.99
also got much needed socks
I enjoy bargains
buying new clothes is an event for me
nearly all I own came from a yard sale or thrift store
I need to budget more for clothes but may the income increase first

while in the mall of North Park sat near nature
quietly observed turtles and ducks in their indoor pond
watched the rabbits and small goat
this was very refreshing

bought myself two gifts online
seeking for an enjoyable past time
brother gave me a copy of a computer simulation game when in Colorado
it did not work
very affordable replacement at Amazon
name is Civilization Call to Power is a game to build cities

I have a book of puzzles that kept meaning to use
Tanagrams 330 Puzzles
It is from China long ago
Found an affordable game at Amazon

Here are Tanagrams links I found along my quest
