So on my birthday there was a luncheon for the US ladies that teach English at my friend Unzile's (from Turkey) house. I told noone it was my birthday! But somehow she found out! She was so sweet to give me a beautiful teal green turkish scarf/ shawl. It really brought me to tears! She had prepared a beautiful spread of food and we also had the traditional turkish coffee and with anticipation listened to her reading of our coffee grounds. Now mind you, she had not been at the luncheon about a week before... and so weird... but she read nearly the exact same things in my cup as Gulsum. Although she had a few things to add like your husband will take on a lot of responsibility and have power. And you will have a beautiful house. Really she said these things!!! Wow... and Happy Birthday to ME!
In the evening we attended a choir performance of Reuben's at a really nice venue.... which I can't remember than name of right now. It was really special though as the choir assistant's was an accomplished violinist and her grandfather was a professional oboe player and he arranged this very nice evening! What a neat experience! Reuben will never forget. But in addition... earlier in the day he got his braces off!!! Now isn't he handsome and all grown up!!
