‘How many birthday parties have you had over your lifetime?
The children of today have one every year, but when I was a child---.
You’ve heard that story.
I guess Dame Fortune saved all the good spirit and wishes for this year.
For this party was once in a lifetime. Sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews , children, grandchildren and great grandchildren traveled from all over to help me celebrate. What fun! It was one of the best days of my life.
There is always something to complain about, but when there is something to be joyful for, do it.
Having your children working together, the planning, the decorating, the sharing of pictures, the food ; that is remarkable.
When your family calls you Queen For A Day, smile and say cheese.
For there will be photographers.
In Indiana weather is always a concern for travelers. Mother Nature put on an early show for them, but thankfully, all was well.
The travelers took in the side shows,: their old stompin’ grounds, Jungle Jim’s, Whitetail Acres Christmas Tree Farm to see the authentic Alaskan reindeer .
My family is generous to a fault. How Dad loved sharing whatever he grew in the garden, blackberries, or muskmelons. To my party. siblings brought lemons, (grown from their own tree),; oranges and tomatoes, peach marmalade, and, and grouper, (enough for a wonderful fish fry,) Red and gold poinsettias brighten my house, reminders of their caring. They filled my utility room with my drink of choice, (Starbucks frappucchino (the blue cap-lite). What more could anyone want.?
There were birthday cards, warm and touching, ;to be read over and over.
Thank you.
But enough talk, where are the pictures?
