Today is Sylvia's birthday. I tried singing "Happy Birthday" to her...she told me to "put a sock in it". I thought you were supposed to be happy on your birthday? I guess she wasn't exactly pleased being a year older. Or, maybe my brilliant voice didn't quite resonate right? For her birthday, I thought a hike up Sabino Canyon would be a perfect present...you think she'd be thrilled, wouldn't you? Well not exactly, but it was a very nice eight mile walk up a beautiful canyon. They run a shuttle up the mountain and we bought tickets and walked instead. There are several spots where you have to take your shoes and socks off in order to cross a creek. Again, not something Sylvia envisioned doing on her birthday. I took a picture of her crossing the creek, and I swear, the camera broke. Finally, a smile from the Birthday Girl. It took us about three hours to do the walk and it's another of those "Must Do's" if you ever get in the area. We ended the day by going back to Lavenders for dinner and a more traditional birthday event.Saturday, January 26, 2008

Love to you both

Happy Birthday, Sylvia. It was on my calendar but I forgot to look at the calendar. . . there was even a card there for you but I forgot to send it.
I agree with Lisa, Bill should have carried the birthday girl across the creek AND up the canyon.
Love ya,
Carol & Jack
Yup, yup, it was on my calendar too! Happy 35th!
Love
Sonja and Reba
By the way, I'd pay good money to see the pics of Sylvia wading across the creek. Priceless!

Happy Belated Birthday, Sylvia! What a coincidence - it's my 35th in Feb! :-)
