Birthday At the Farm....

I am so spoiled! I told Mum I wanted grilled oysters by the fire pit at the farm and that is exactly what I got along with s'mores and sausage-on-a-stick and roasted corn. Yummy! We all ate until our tummy's stuck out. ;-) Thanks CJ for slaving over the fire pit with the oysters. They were so fresh and delicious! I also got a new stadium seat from Dougie, some batter bowls and pj's from Mum, and shopping $$ from CJ. What a perfect evening!

Happy Birthday To Me......

Yes, I feel older today. The wrinkles in the mirror this morning seem deeper, I have to use my glasses to grade papers, and I'm not looking forward to buying a new bathing suit this year. These are all signs that I'm alive so I'm going to rejoice and enjoy the new older me.

I love my flowers from Greg, my hugs from the boys, the really-out-of-tune Birthday Song from my 2nd period Accounting class, my special hand-knitted wash cloths from Cindy, all my well wishes posted on Facebook, and the special emails and phone calls. (Uncle George actually sent me an ecard with a cat barfing up the words Happy Birthday!)

I'm looking forward to grilled oysters at the farm later and hopefully the traditional Cherry Cheesecake.

I am so lucky to have friends and family who remember my day and make me feel special.
