It’s My Big Seven O on 7/4! Oh my!

Happy birthday to me. It’s a fun birthdate. July Fourth.

Grateful to be in Columbus, celebrating my milestone birthday. And it’s a big one!

I made it through my seventieth year.

Columbus Skyline Captured by Jack

From the top floor of a hospital parking lot. Columbus, Ohio.  Jack (12) texted me his photograph from this vantage point. You know it pleases me when a grandchild sees something, takes a photograph and sends it to me. I told him he is honing his eye. He asked me, is that good?  Yes, it is.

Columbus Library

Charles and Laura took me to the library in downtown Columbus.

We attended the Jim Gill concert at the Columbus Metropolitan Library on Thursday morning.

What a wonderful library.

Here’s an  Article about their recent renovation

And a few other pics for the second ATOP gallery.

  I was talking with my friend today and said I don’t think I use the word atop in my everyday vocabulary.  But I seem to have a few photos from the archives that illustrate it.
