My Birthday

Daughter and her flatmates came for New Year and my birthday instead of Christmas.

I am so happy they did plus the weather flying was so much better.
They live in the land of snow and with high temps of 1 somedays.
Goodness that is so cold I can't even think of that.

On my Birthday

daughter made espresso my favorite, and a brunch breakfast.

Then we went to Saguaro National Park East. Daughter bought me my forever Senior Pass 

we took the tram ticket up the mountain. 

They took a few trails down to the river and one loop.

Her flatmates have never been to the Sonoran Desert and enjoyed every day here.

Next post will have photos of the Saguaro National Park East.

 Daughter also cooked a Japanese New Year Day Dinner for us.

Ozon with Tangelo peel, I love mochi in this soup !

 Wonderful gifts. 

Stephanie drew thehamish for me, Jory found the little rabbit.

They all found the plant and pot at B and B Cactus.

 Birthday card from Japanese Family.

Granddaughter was worried I would not know what it said.

Mumjallia does not read Japanese she said.

Heart thump !

.

 So she drew on the back of the card for me.

Mia and me, a drawing of a bear, greeting and explanations, a side view of the bear 

 Mia is giving Mamajilla a present, Mia and I  looking at the stars and lots of hearts .
No better present.

 Daughter made pretty espresso.

I think I know how to use the new espresso machine, maybe ?
