My 29th : )

I had a terrific birthday this year. See the cake? The neighbors brought it, along with some ice cream, over for me and said invite some people over. Because we've been painting the walls, the house was torn apart, so I called my niece Heidi and asked if she wanted to host a party for me. Good thing I am not shy! She was willing. She was staying at her parents house while they were up in AK.
So we had an impromptu party. Doesn't it look like fun? I think the cake was such a neat idea. And lots of thanks to Heidi for the party!!!
There I was gesturing that this was the third time I was sung to that day. I was sung to in the morning, afternoon and evening.

It always surprises me when people remember my birthday. I am not good about birthdays, with the exception of my kids. (Like my mom always tells me on my birthday- "I was there!")
I got some really nice cards in the mail and Sadie had Ron buy me a new pot. It was very thoughtful of her, as my old one had been missing it's handle for months.

I also attended a nice brunch at my sister's and then I had my residents make me birthday cards. P. was trying so hard to sign her name and it bugged her how shaky it was until I told her that it was the first ever birthday card I'd gotten from a 101 yr. old. Then she beamed. Like I said, I am not shy- having them make me cards- I could only get away with it there : )

One last little story about my birthday. Two days ago I was in the store and I wanted to spend some birthday cash on some nice lotion or such for myself. Which is kind of uncharacteristic for me anyways, but the really funny thing is that I ended up picking out a wrinkle removing eye cream! How ironic is that. I guess I want to try look 29 (haha) forever.
