Here’s the monthly edition of “Where Bloggers Live” and today I’m pretty sure it’s about our favorite birthday. So, I’ve had a LOT of birthdays – and I have posted about my “Birthday Surprise” in the past – so I’m including part of that in this one – along with my last birthday. Be sure to check out the rest of the group (links at the end of the post) as I’m sure they will be a lot more interesting than I am.
So, here goes my most memorable Birthday – my 50th (and that was a LONG time ago). You can read the full post about it if you’d like. Birthdday Surprise. Here’s a pretty good picture from the original post (obviously doesn’t look anything like me now.
So, then there’s my last birthday – which was less than a month ago – and I had a pretty good surprise for that one too. All four of my children (plus one grandson) managed to be here. Now 3 of my kids (well, they’re not kids anymore) live close to me, but the 4th one is in Texas and I don’t get to see him very often.
The local kids had all gotten me something over the weekend – flannel to make pillow cases, flowers, candy, balloons, etc. So Saturday morning I was sitting in the living room drinking my coffee and #1 son (who lives next door now – and thinks his job is to take care of me) comes in (through the garage & kitchen) stops behind where I’m sitting and says: “I brought you a birthday present”.
I replied: “You already gave me a birthday present.”
He says: “But you’ll like this one better.”
I turned around and there was my Texas son. (#1 son is still standing behind)
My birthday was on a Monday and they told me they were taking me to Wentzels (my favorite restaurant) on Sunday afternoon for a birthday dinner. It was great – all 4 of my children and one grandson. One of my daughter-in-laws was sick and couldn’t go, but the rest of us had a great time.
So yes, now I’m an old lady. Am I doing to change my profile picture? NO! I don’t want to look THAT old.
Okay, that’s it for me… be sure to check out everyone else.
