Cake and appropriate candles readyA long time ago....in another decade.......My family let me choose what age I wanted for every other birthday to come. They put an assortment of numbered candles and a bare cake and that year..............long ago....................and far away..............I CHOOSE TO BE 32 for life!
So Sunday when my birthday rolled around I was younger than some of my children.
Amazing how that works now!
Lucky me.
It takes the sting out of the cake and the day to know you are only 32. An age I loved.
Lots of wonderful people came to celebrate with me. I thank all of you for making my birthday so fun. I love celebrations, birthday, picnics, holidays all wonderful in my thinking so to have so many nice birthday wishes on Sunday was perfect.
Some of the interesting surprises was a e-card from my sister devoting Disneyland park to me for my birthday, my name in banners all over Disneyland, wow! My favorite radio station's DJ's sent me a video of them singing happy Birthday to me! And with the web cam on my 3 year old grandson and his mommy sang me the most lovely round of happy birthday! A big arm full of pink roses from a daughters family are still brightening my days.
My far away daughter offered to call me every 15 minutes to remind me it was my birthday but her call and e-card was plenty. Another friend sent me a really full look at the 60's in an e-mail and the beautiful e-cards everyone sent were very lovely. On top of all that face book was just buzzing with well wishes all of them fulfilled.
Thanks all!
