Today's my birthday (don't mind telling number 52). I am so happy to be alive and live another day on God's green earth. I'm so thankful for my home, family and friends. God has blessed me with so much. Hope I'm here 50 more.

I had such a great day. My dear sweet husband always picks out the most sentimental, beautiful cards. They always make me cry. My dear friend Jenene gave me beautiful earrings I love and also a necklace (my going away present) from Silpada. My daughter Lori and the grandkids came by and took me to lunch at Cici's Pizza. I'll have to take pictures of the things they got me (hint: rooster stuff). Got back to work and my friend Teresa sent me an birthday e-card. Then Thomas (spouse) took me out to eat dinner, then we went to a gospel meeting at our church (all my family goes there, an added bonus). Got home around 8:30. It was definately a full and happy day.

Can't leave out my step daughter Robbie, her husband Ken and kids came out on Saturday and celebrated my birthday and Ken's (we share the same birthday). Got some great, sweet cards and a $40.00 gift card from Joann's (that should keep me busy). Thanks so much.

This is my last week of work, so I can stay home and sew, watch the grandkids some, and whatever I want. That makes me happy and thankful.
