How Did I Get to be 50?

I guess it would be safe to say "time flies when you're having fun", as I reached the half-century mark on April 7th.  I surely never thought I'd be this old...er, mature, but it certainly beats the alternative, and I'm looking forward to a new decade of growth, change, and many new adventures.  Here I am on the morning of my big day right before work.

After I got home from work (on the bus!), Barry and I went to ONE Restaurant right across the street from our apartment for a delicious meal.  Afterwards, he gave me my gifts of scrumptious dark chocolate with toffee bits, a couple six-packs of fancy microbrews, and a bike basket for my beach cruiser bike!  

I also received another nice gift -- a new batch of photos of the condo we're building in Belize.  Click on over to our Belize blog (link at top right) to check 'em out.
