I had a wonderful day on my birthday yesterday. It started out really good when I read so many nice wishes sent to me on Facebook. That was really an unexpected blessing! One of my dearest friends sent me a beautiful ecard and when I got to work my little girlfriend Tracey had posted a big "Happy Birthday Frances" sign on my door and had brought me a beautiful pot of tulips. Isn't that just the sweetest thing for her to do? It was like a breath of spring and I will plant them to enjoy for years to come (hopefully.) My exercise class sang Happy Birthday to me and one of the ladies brought homemade cookies for everyone to enjoy. Now how many exercise classes do you know that serve cookies? Awesome!
At lunchtime I celebrated with my best friends who just happen to be my sisters! They bought my lunch and we had a happy time together as we always do. I love them so much! That's us "Green Girls" is the picture above.
After work I enjoyed a great visit with my son Nick and his wife Kelly and their two children Gracie and Seth. They also had my other two grandchildren with them. Gracie and Seth were so excited about the "big bag" they brought in for me and Gracie kept saying, "you're gonna love this Gran!" And she was certainly right. The gift in the bag was priceless for it was a hand-painted oval plate that Kelly had painted. It had Gran and Papa and the four "munchkins" on it. I love it and will cherish it forever! (See the picture at the top right.)
After Nick and family left my older son Chris, his wife Cathy and their sons Alex and Aaron picked us up and we all went out for supper. We had lots of fun being together and enjoyed our meal. They surprised me with a gift certificate to get a massage. I was thrilled because that is something I never give myself. I can't wait to use it!
My hubbie gave me a beautiful card and Calvin Klein's Euphoria Perfume and Lotion set. It was just what I had been wanting! He's a keeper!
By bedtime I was emotionally exhausted (in a wonderful way) and slept like a baby!
I feel blessed beyond measure to have such wonderful friends and family. If this is what getting old is all about then I've gotta tell you "it's pretty darn good!"
Tomorrow I hope (and pray) to cap my week off with a good Dr.'s report for Jerry. Please keep him in your prayers!
Until next blog, I pray you have lots and lots of FUN with your Family and Friends too!
Love y'all!
