top-of-world BIRTHDAY
August is BIRTHDAY MONTH – and the 21st, my far-away top-of-the-world CELEBRATION day.
Bigger, better? Holidaying with Michaela. Life always BEST when shared 😊
Direct flights on Iceland Air. Denver to Reykjavik; M a short 5 hours from Boston. Keflavik meetup – convenient 45 minutes between touchdowns. Luggage, Monopoly money. Sleep another day.
Today – it’s my BIRTHDAY! Go, go, go!
Airport transfer to Iceland’s Blue Lagoon (lava field on the Reykjanes Peninsula). M bought the deluxe package (bathrobes, shoes, double the mud). Geothermal heated, water sweating volcanic minerals/silica. OUTDOOR SPA day. Would leave 10 years younger. Scandinavian fountain of youth. LOL>
Long soak followed by birthday DINNER. 3 courses, foreign palate – FAAANNNTASTIC eats!
Late afternoon commute into the capital. Bus Stop #3. Our new home away from home. Me, the Hotel Borg. M & Eli, an Airbnb apartment short 10-minute walk. Iceland, dig this place!
Hike day tomorrow: Thórsmörk Volcano 🌋

- Who I am, what’s ‘life’ important – FAMILY
Don’t waste a lotta time wondering what/if. Lucky that way. My core is solid.
Happy Birthday!
Day & a half in Connecticut. Short trip. Time much appreciated, funds well spent – celebrating Michaela on her day, in her surroundings. Nothing like S’mores on Divine M’s outdoor deck. YUM!
Pizza take-away, birthday dinner in Willimantic, walk over the Frog Bridge. Play with the new grandpup, my first gran-DAWG-ter. Zelda. Whatta cutie! 🐾
Awesome watching Mick grow & flourish – and EVERYTHING around her grow too. Kiddo’s got a green thumb. Scallions, pumpkin, cucumbers, basil, spring flower overload.
Late nite finish. SO MUCH food, birthday’d well past bed time.
See ya later alligator for MY birthday in August. Goodbye NOT. Flights/hotel/excursions already booked – a Reykjavik family adventure. Icelandic ponies, geothermal soak. Volcano hike.
Tough letting go – allowing ‘em to escape the cocoon, grow, butterfly away.
Miss ya Misha. You make my HEART full. Happy 26 ❤️

House, husband & 2019: grad student. Kiddo’s star’s a bright one.
Ash’s first 29th birthday – Italian celebrazione this year, Zucca’s in downtown Louisville.
Still re-homing cats & dogs at PawsCo AND reducing landfill disposal everywhere she goes. Gal walks the talk. 3 cans at work (compost, recycling, trash) AND NO PLASTIC STRAWS – never EVER. Mother Earth thanks you.
Happy Birthday Ash. You inspire.
Dominican Republic in August, Austria in September, lotta Colorado in between. Live, laugh, love. #noregretlife next generation 😊
Ash’s HIGH HOLIDAY kicks off a month of Wilpiszeski celebrations.
Bucket of chicken with Tom (happy 34th) & grandpup Marty’s GRAND #8. Sweaters, hats, bandannas, his OWN full-sized bed and once-a-month ‘can’t miss’ grooming – 8 never looked so fierce. Fried eggs & Pupperoni at Papa’s house 🐶❤️
