Double Nickel Today!

Today is my birthday, and I've hit the "double nickel" as Hubby and I have been calling it. Hubby hit the double nickel in January. So, we are both, officially, Senior Citizens. It was bad enough getting that first letter from AARP, a month before I turned 50. That happened way before I was ready. Now, I'm trying to wrap my arms around the fact that I'm a S.C.  But, I guess now I can look forward to getting my Ohio Buckeye card. I can flash that everywhere I go and get a 10 % discount on coffee, meals...whatever. (To tell the truth, I don't even know where to go to get my Buckeye card! Come to think of it, Hubby doesn't even have his Buckeye card. Guess I'll have to do some investigating.)


We celebrated my birthday on Sunday. Hubby started the day by making me breakfast. 

That Hubby of mine can make some pretty good breakfasts. This is our version of Egg McMuffins. I think you'll agree, that ours is superior! Yep, that was a very tasty breakfast.


After church, Amazing Daughter and Son went with us to the best Mexican restaurant in the state! It is almost an hour's drive, but worth every minute. It's called Nuevo Acapulco, in North Olmstead, Ohio. Ever since we discovered this place, this is where I request to go for my birthday!
 This was my plate of deliciousness. Tacos el Carbon. I order this almost everytime, but, it is just so yummy that I can't order anything else. There is some kind of spice that is so distinctly different, and I absolutely love it.  


 BD ordered the gigantic burrito. I wonder how they came up with that name? Yes, he ate the whole thing!


 Hubby ordered the super mucho burrito. He ate the whole thing!


 Jennee also got the Taco el Carbon! She may kill me for using this picture, but, I think she's too busy with NaNoWriMo to be reading my blog!


 And, here's me and Hubby. Try as he might, he kept closing his eyes for every picture!


If only son, JT, and granddaughter, Sweetie Pie, could have been there, the day would have been complete!

  1. No, I'm not too busy with Nano to notice that horrid picture. Actually, it's not terrible. Happy Birthday!

  2. Happy Birthday!!!

    I had a hard time with 50 but, like you, decided to go with it. As The Geezer puts it - don't complain about old age, here are many that are denied the privilege of growing old. Now I'm not so comfortable that I don't mumble my age when I'm asked, but at least I don't like anymore ;-)
