Thirty Eight

I’m turning thirty eight today! Last year was an interesting year, numerically. 38 is not quite so interesting, but does have a few cool space tidbits:

Neil Armstrong was 38 when he walked on the moon. (Buzz Aldrin was 39.) Jack Swigert was also 38 when he timed the 14 second burn that brought Apollo 13 back into position for reentry to Earth.

Tess took me out to dinner last weekend. We went to Precita Social, a local spot we’d been meaning to try.

Today, I’m in Arizona. My sister’s wedding reception is this coming weekend, and since my birthday is so close, I decided to come home a few days early. Mom made me a checkerboard cake, per tradition.

Feeling loved and cared for today. 🥰
