...7.31...Friday Update...the Birthday edition...

...so many birthday gifties...you've already seen the sweet chocolates my sissie sent...I am very lucky...

...a new set of kitchen towels and potholders in a nice crisp blue and white...

...I needed a new pair of walking shoes...and I could no longer get the style/number of New Balance trail shoes that I had always gotten...

...these are similar just with a different #...

...and from Our Airman...an adorable little hand crocheted flower...did you know that while knitting can be done by machine...crochet cannot...

...it's so sweet...I'll put it on my nightstand so I can see it first thing every morning...

...and my old airpods had sort of died...and by died I mean that they would only stay charged for about 5 minutes...so pretty much useless...and they never picked up my voice very well with the microphone on the earpiece...I'm pretty soft-spoken and people would always say they couldn't hear me when I tried to use them...so the Man got me these Beats ones...

...I'm sure he meticulously researched them...they're still wireless so I won't be tethered to the phone but they have microphones that sit closer to the front so hopefully I'll be able to use them to talk as I don't use my phone for listening very much...

...and a couple of things all the way from Japan...

...a traditional tofu cutter...

...of course I've tried it out...you set the cutter in place and press the tofu down through it...

...and you've got nice evenly sliced tofu...

...and then you just pull the top piece and the tofu is forced through another cutter on the front...

...and you're left with perfectly cubed tofu...ideal for the air fryer...

...and I actually asked for this saw...it's got two different sets of teeth...fine and course...it'll come in very handy...

~Have a lovely day!
