I think you might have guessed its Misty's official birthday today, she's 12 years old or thereabouts!  I did ask her if she wanted to take over my journal for today as she has done for the last few years but she politely declined.  No special birthday walk for us today as weather not been too good.  We may go somewhere tomorrow.  Today would also have been my brother's birthday, he would have been 65 so the usual reminiscing with my siblings about him.
