A favorite blogger writes: "What has happened to all the women who are done with child-rearing? Young voices permeate the blogosphere." What do sixty-something women do with their lives, especially if they do not have full-time jobs? We're here to find that out.

Happy Birthday!
A gala dinner at H's last night, where we celebrated a milestone birthday for G, a few days in advance of the official date. We returned for breakfast and H served and taught us how to make "green smoothies". More about these in a future post. Had to go to Whole Foods later to stock up on kale, almond milk, flaxseed....like penance.
Last year at this time it seemed Mom was emailing me every other second saying that if I had Elisabeth on such and such a day she'd share a birthday with you (don't forget to tell your readers that THAT'S coming up!), or G, or Fiske or whomever.
This was chocolate sponge cake spread generously with raspberry jam + framboise and whipped cream, topped with fresh raspberries. Almost worth getting old for!
I'm sixty-five. I still live in the same suburban NJ house where I raised my three daughters. They wonder what I do all day. Now they will be able to find out, and so will I.

The cake looks delicious!
Interested to hear more about the smoothies... I can't tell if you like them or not, LOL.
Oh, and Happy Birthday, G!
