Happy Birthday to Me - 11/20/08


This tote bag was made for me by my amazing artist friend Robin.  I'm not sure if you can see the amazing detail of all the pieced leaves and the crow, but trust me when I tell you,  this is incredibly beautiful.  Thank you Robin.

I had expected to feel sad today, but instead I'm feeling very grateful to have so many loving friends and family members who care for me.  I am truly blessed.

Yesterday I went out to lunch with some of my ex co-workers.  I don't think any of them are running from the law, so I'm going to post our picture from yesterday.  I wish I could say I was *pretty in pink*.

Tonight my daughter and granddaughter are coming over and bringing pizza for dinner and Saturday we're having dinner with my son and his significant other.  My Mom and I celebrated when I saw her on Sunday.  Birthday's can last a long time if you play your cards right.

So now I'm 62 just in case you're wondering but were afraid to ask.  I'm not old, but I'm getting there.

    You crack me up. Witty, pert and so lovely in pink. I am glad this was a good day for you. Sixty-two is the new 42. I, of course, am just a baby. (58). Also, the bag is truly a thing of beauty.

    happy birthday, I posted your present. She is having a sugar problem right now. Everyone seems to believe she will be fine so we are still praying. She is a cutie, I am glad she choose this day to share with you.

    Sounds like you have been having a good couple of days! Never thought of spreading the birthday wishes out like that.

Glad you had such a great time...I remember when (sigh)...we always were a fun crowd...then I have to move and you had to retire..what were we thinking?! (Oh yeah, better get out while the getting was good LOL).

    Glad to hear you had a good day..you deserve it my friend!

    Guajataka the baby was the sweetest gift that's for sure.
