This is how I ended 61 years of living, with tomorrow the beginning of my 62nd year:
It began with a phone call from daughter and granddaughter on their speaker phone singing the "Happy Birthday" song while I unwrapped their birthday gifts that had been sent to me earlier in the week.
Then I was serenaded by our illustrious duo,
Andrea and Val in two part harmony with said Birthday song....
with a surprise visit from Santa Kim.
There were emails and verbal good wishes all day long!
I even received some cards with more kind words...
Then an E-card from son with some very funny mooing cows and suchfollowed by some loving and very kind words to his mother.
And more kind and loving words on a cardfrom daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter...
Gifts....some lovely tree ornaments, some Body Shop stuff andthis beautiful Christmas treat calendar from daughter and family.
And God saw to it that I had a special gift of snow!
Then supper at a fine dining restaurant "Chandeliers"...
with some Filet Mignon.......oh man.....was that scrumptious.....
A lovely birthday shared with the wonderful love of my life. A moment ago son called and he and his girlfriend and her friends all sang "The Birthday Song" once more. What a lovely ending to a perfect day. I am blessed indeed.
Iwould be remiss if I did not say "thanks" to my dear mother who bore me on this day in 1947, and my wonderful father who shared his genes with me. They fit quite well..........:-)
Did you know that my favorite Christmas movie, "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart, came out in 1947? Ya.....I'm that old!

My head must be elsewhere these days. How did I miss greeting you on your day. Belated greetings and I will spare you the singing.
Apparently you missed Phil's birthday as well. Same day, different year. It is nice to know that you have people who care. Plus I didn't think you were that age. Than again, age is just number. You are only as old as you feel.
Happy Belated Birthday Sharon....sorry I wasn't there to give you a big hug. Sounds like you had a great day and that a lot of people care about you. Have a great weekend, continue with the celebrations.

Thanks all.
"That age" really is just a number.
It was a day to remember...
