a lovely time

Ray said he had a very good birthday . I took him out for dinner and gave him some money to play at the casino tonight. We just got home. When we got here there were four messages, nearly everyone checked in to wish him a happy birthday so he feels very happy and that makes me happy too. That's a lot of happys isn't it :))
This afternoon there were a couple of old movies on that I wanted to see so that is what I did but to make some progress on my quilt I pinned the rows together and took a bit of time to sew that line of stitching so now there are rows 1 to 8 sewn together. Then I pinned the strips on the sides of the next two sets of squares. Tomorrow if I have time I'll do those. We have to go grocery shopping , then I have to get my hair fixed because we are going to a party. The company where Ray used to work always has a Christmas party catered by one of the hotels and we are always invited. It is a great evening.  We have a lovely time, it is good to see everyone and get all the hugs LOL.
I am looking forward to getting the squares done and finishing this quilt for Ray. Maybe by Christmas I can do that. Wouldn't that be nice....
Ray picked up his poinsiettias today, he likes doing that. He bought a red one and a white one. He also decorated the hallway door to the apartment. He does that every year too. We used to have children on this floor but they all moved away , the kids waited for Ray to do the door then we put out candy for them. The adults ate the candy as well but that was fine by us.

All in all it was a very good day and we are feeling contented.

I hope your day was as good as ours and your evening is as pleasant.

Buona notte.
