It's My Party!


Gifts, balloons, flowers, love, family and friends!

Yes, a party was had all day long yesterday to celebrate my humble existence on this planet. I always love starting the day at work because I get to have my name announced with the 'birthday's' during morning announcements and then up to the office I go to get my birthday sticker and my birthday balloon - a la Sheila! Then 'happy birthday' sung by my oh, so sweet class! My son surprised me at lunch with a so beautiful bouquet from my daughter and him...and lunch! It was wonderful spending time with him...so nice... so very nice. Sweet gifts and birthday wishes from my buddies at work who just never cease to amaze me with their kindness and generousity!

After work commitments, the ya-ya's and I met at our favorite little place - for celebrating, of course!

A little 'nectar of the gods' ...

courtesy of my new buddies from Montana, Jean and Ron! They were in the booth next to us and we all struck it up so well that they became such an honored part of our evening! (Thank you again, Ron and Jean, for your kindness and generousity! We all love you!)
Blessed am I to have so many amazing, kind, intuitve, supportive, funny, inspiration- al and strong women in my life! To ALL of my girlfriends.....everywhere....
Thank you for your friendship! Being a part of your lives is the BEST gift of all!
