Celebration #7: Breakfast at Taman Tun with Julie

Celebration #7: Taman Tun Breakfast with Julie

Actually, we also celebrated with Dave and Julie and Hannah the night before at a Thai restaurant, but we forgot our camera. So, this covers the whole celebration with old and dear friends. Julie and I had a good hike up Bukit Kiara like days of old, and we had this YUMMY Taman Tun treat for breakfast. Friends are reason for celebration!

Celebration #6: Soaking Wet in the Southeast Asian Rainforest

Oh how I wanted to see the virgin forest of Brunei from the canopy walkway high above the forest floor, but just as we were ascending the stairs to the walkway, a HUGE storm came in, and we had to abort the mission. BUMMER! Another reason we need to come back!

Celebration #4 - Sisterhood


Celebration #4 - Sisterhood, originally uploaded by carolfoasia.

Teala and I went to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 because we saw the first one together, and we thought it would be fun to see another one. LOVED IT! I hope Teala and I can see sequel after sequel as the 20 something get married and have babies and gain weight and get wrinkles. . . Just like Teala and I have done over the last 30 years. We have grown up together. We are truly sisters although she got the short genes (5 feet even) and I got the TALL genes (6 feet 2 1/4). So, we think if we every had a Sisterhood movie it would have to be the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Shorts" because her pants would not be long enough for me. So, I will get the shorts, and they will be pants on her. LOL!

She is sitting next to me right now, and we are laughing . . .another thing you should not do when you are getting old because of the accident that could occur.

(BTW, I cropped this picture, but I realized that Colin Firth would be cropped out on the right, and I just couldn't do that to Colin. Can you see how I am squatting, but why is Teala also bending her knees? LOL!)

Happy Together

Celebration #3 - Mary's Peak Hike


Mary's Peak Hike, originally uploaded by carolfoasia.




It was a double celebration day as we hiked the East Ridge Trail to the top of Mary's Peak via Connor's Camp. It was great to hike hard and take in the beauty of the Oregon forest and spectacular views of the coastal range and Willamette Valley floor. The fellowship was sweet with dear friends and my family too.


Celebration #2: Breakfast with Dear Friends

Teala, Debbie, and I were in Sheryl Rice's Design for Discipleship Bible Study back in the fall of 1979. It was so fun to CELEBRATE a musli breakfast with two of my dearest college friends this morning out on the patio at Nearly Normals.

Forty-Nine and Fine!, originally uploaded by carolfoasia.

Today was my 49th birthday, and the whole day was a celebration from the morning call from my brother to an evening dinner, walk, and dessert with Debbie and Ralph from Boise.

Forty-nine is oh so fine!

Trying Out My Birthday Present!

I made Chai Tea this morning, and George said, "I have to get you your birthday present!" It is a canister to make homemade whipped cream!

Mom Wouldn't Approve . . .

Spraying directly from the can is something 49 year old women should not do!
