Thank you for all the wonderful birthday comments. I had people singing to me all day long...beginning with my husband when I was barely awake, then my baby brother and his bride, Far Guys Sister and then Jen...along with a few emails too.
We began celebrating the night before my birthday as my other baby brother and she who sees robins first baked rhubarb cake! Then on my birthday we took DQ blizzards to share with my parents. My Dad has memory problems...I asked him "How old am I Dad? " He said "34"...I said I will take that. Then he was quiet and you could tell he was thinking real hard...and he finally got a big grin on his face and said "You are really old!" He remembered that he was in Korea when I was born.
We drove around a bit before stopping for a proper late lunch or lupper. When we got home my baby brother and his bride came in singing! ( Baxter was not singing, he was looking for treats!) Later in the evening I had calls from Miss Paige, Jen, Andy and Adam.

ReplyDeleteI missed the day but do wish you a happy late birthday. Your dad is cute. He is working with what he has. All of the different treats and food sounded like a good way to celebrate. Baxter now knows you have treats and where they are and he wants them .....now.
