Spent my birthday night watching Bridget Jones's Diary

 The end to a perfect day. Sunny and 55 degrees. Went to lunch with my brother and his friend. Many phone visits over the course of the day. Received a birthday surprise from my sister. And calls from all my siblings.

The Year of Pleasures ***

 By Elizabeth Berg. 2005 This is a revisit of a novel I read years ago. It seems more relevant now that I can relate as a widow. It is the story of a middle-aged woman who decided to move to the Midwest as soon as her husband passes away from cancer. She drives into a small town in the end of October and buys the first house she sees. The friends she makes provide the story with interesting observations.
