All the calls and greetings on FaceBook made me think of other birthdays. On my 30th birthday, my friend Kathy H. turned 30 just a few days before me. We celebrated with a day of skiing at Taos. Here is a photo from that day. 
From the left: Kathy H, Me, Janetta, and Kathy N. I remember having a great day - and I was much thinner.
One of my favorite birthdays was in 2006 when my art girls took me to lunch in Medicine Park. I posted a photo here. Last year's big 50 party was also great - I love to play volleyball and here are those pics. You know, I have been blessed with some good friends and some good times through the years. Last night's supper with friends was filled with laughs - just what I wanted for my birthday. Thanks to all who made my day special with your well-wishes.
And since I am getting older, I will tell a story on myself. Our TV remote died the other day. We could not turn the TV on or off or change channels. Toby went to Wal-Mart and bought a new remote, but it is just not the same. Toby needs to do some more figuring on it - right now we have to manually turn the TV on, but we can change the channels - sort of. The other night, I had the remote and was trying to change channels. It was not going well, and I said, "Why is it going up when I am pushing the down button?" Toby replied, "Maybe because you are holding the remote upside down." We laughed and laughed. Then Toby said, "Ask me how I knew the answer to that so fast." And we laughed some more.

Man...its really steep in Taos.
LOL at what Jay said... and yeah, I sat here looking at the pic with my head tilted about 30 degrees to port as well! But you girls were obviously having a great day... and you look maah-vel-US!
I'm glad your birthday was fun. ANY day that's filled with laughter is a good day, but to be surrounded with friends and laughter on your birthday is just special.
New remotes are so much fun to get used to! I had to laugh at that story, because I have so been there myself!
Amazing how we can't seem to function without the remote. A missing remote is a catastrophe of epic proportions around here.
I remember, when I was a wee lad, that I was the remote..."hey boy, change the channel".
Glad you enjoyed your Birthday.
Piper, Taos can be very steep - it is amazing that we are even standing up.
Buck, it was a great day. I have other photos, but that one was just so silly. There was another photo of me trying to pull my ski pants up in a very small restroom stall. There is a sign on the rr door that says "contortionist chamber," and they weren't kidding.
Becky, this remote is just not shaped right - very confusing.
BR, We have to have a remote to work the dish - why is everything so complicated. And my kids are grown.
belated birthday wishes!
