Happy birthday! What did you do to celebrate?
Opportunity is often missed because it wears suspenders and looks like hard work.

Thank you everyone!
@Georganne To celebrate - well might not be exciting for some. My husband has always said that I am a cheap date!!
Went to Church
Worked in the garden which is pure joy for me.
Played my violin, more pure joy.
Watched the video from fiddle chick a few times.
Baked myself a gluten free Texas sheet cake, if you have had it you would understand and considering I am now allergic to wheat
Went to open houses - We are not wanting to move, I am in my dream house, but we live in a historic neighborhood with many cool old houses. My goal is to see the inside of every house!! LOL!
Husband hung up another wren house. We have had 1 family every year since we moved in. Trying to get 2 families of wrens so we have put up 7 houses.
Had dinner with my family, hubby cooked it on the grill yummy!!

Thanks!! @coolpinkone
Oh and how could I forget this birthday surprise? Because of a suggestion by @Fiddlerman on the thread Wrist flexibility while playing double stops[u] - "above all, don't play too close to the bridge"
I can now play double stops!!
I had been playing close to the bridge when trying to do double stops and it is crazy difficult. Moving my bowing "lane" towards the finger board and in one song- eureka!!
