It's my birthday. What will this year be like?


The clouds were moving fast over the moon at 5am this morning.
A nice start to a new trip around the sun.

For the first time my age number feels "old" to me. Of course my older granddaughter has been assuring me that I am old for some time now! She also tells her Dad that he is ancient which both he and I find hilarious given his obviously much younger age.

We'll see what the year brings, but is starting out nicely. Today I am going to SFMOMA with Hubby and older son and DIL to see the special Matisse exhibit and check out the museum as a whole to see if we want to go regularly. it is just a short walk from a BART station on the line we live near. We also will have lunch at one of the 2 restaurants in the museum.

The special exhibit looks like it will be quite interesting as it examines the influence on art of one specific painting. You can get a glimpse of it here (Matisse exhibit overview).

  2. Ooo, Matisse. I am sure that will be a divine exhibit. Happy birthday!! Hope this enjoyable day becomes the theme for all your days this year. Wishing you much good health and happiness.
    The kids always ask me how old I am when I sub...I tell them 102. They tell me they would never have guessed I was more than 90!!

    1. 102! Great response. She is almost 10 and knows the difference but enjoys teasing all of us although she is right that we are old. The exhibit was very interesting and we all liked the way it was curated and presented.

  3. Happy Birthday, Juhli, and I hope your day at the modern art museum was wonderful from start to finish.

    We'l be in Philadelphia next week, and have visits to the Art Museum of Philadelphia, and the Barnes Foundation (also an art museum) on our list of things to do.
