@journey11 - I see it is your BIRTHDAY. I hope you are able to spend it doing anything you wish. Something FUN. (And maybe something yummy, too!) Happy, Happy Birthday Friend.
Thank you, Carol Dee. You are so thoughtful. I think DH and I will catch dinner and a movie tonight, which we don't get to do very often nowadays, busy as we are. Ava has been making me little presents all week. I've been finding little paper packages stapled together and hidden throughout the house. Haven't been allowed to open them until sometime today.
Happy Birthday! I love it when kids get so excited about someone else's birthday. Kids know how great it is that we have lived through another year! and there's presents!
