Happy Birthday Susan B. Anthony

So it is Feb. 15th, the anniversary of the birth of one of my role models/heroes, Susan B. Anthony. She and her best friend/writing partner, Elizabeth Cady Stanton are among the people I most admire.

Yesterday, I helped redhatmary host a Valentine's Day Tea Party for her Red Hat Society group, the Red Hats on Wheels. It was lots of fun. I love hosting tea parties and the talk was fun. redhatmary had also planned several fun little party games with prizes for all. It was delightful. It also reminded me of my childhood birthday parties. She was always such a clever Mama, with lots of fun activities for us kids. She always puts so much of herself into everything she does. This is one of many things I admire about her.

Last night, we changed our Valentine's Day/Birthday plans. On our birthdays, we usually go out to dinner at somewhere picked by the birthday person. Unfortunately, airshipjones wasn't feeling well enough to go out. So we had a quiet but good evening at home. We ordered dinner from our "Favorite Indian Restaurant" (actual name of the place) and watched "Wallace and Grommet and the Wererabbit." It was a fun evening. uncledark's laughter is always fantastic. We have a new favorite quote, we embrace our "primitive bunny nature."

I am cleaning my room, listening to music and working on my article. It has been a quiet day. I expect a friend for dinner tonight. And then this weekend, we will be attending Patheacon.
