My 80th Birthday Party

Wow!  What a party my kids threw for me.  A most beautiful birthday cake, good food and all the family were there.  My kids, grandkids, great grandkids, extended family, brother and sister, and a great many friends too.  There was plenty of good food, laughter and many pictures taken.  Will be fun to see all of the pictures.  Have already seen several on Facebook.  I really had a great time and was so tired when I got home, I just sat down in my easy chair for a couple hours.  Then I got started opening the many cards.  I received 72 cards in all, some through the mail and some at the party and several gifts too.  It was quite a birthday celebration.  Such fun!

Birthday Cards

This has really been a week of birthdays. My sister's birthday was Tuesday. My daughter-in-law's birthday was Wednesday and my sister-in-law's birthday is Sunday. The Post Office wants to raise postage again and I really don't mind. There is no easier way to get a personal card to someone out of town that by the snail mail as they call it these days. I sent the ecards too but it is always nice to get something in the mail.

Christmas Cards

Have been getting quite a few Christmas cards. It is so nice when they enclose a picture of their family. I worked with a young girl back in the 70's and she sent a card today. Also sent a picture of their entire family and boy, has it grown. I am sending some back to her of our family as it is really growing too. It is something to see how we have all aged since back then when we worked together.

Father's Day

Yesterday was Father's Day and my husband had a good one. He got cards from all four of our kids and money and a lunch out after church with one of our daughters, granddaughter, and great granddaughter. We went to a Mexican restaurant and Kaelyn talked and talked to the waiter. We couldn't understand her and neither could he, but he enjoyed her talking to him.:0)

Birthdays

We had 3 family birthdays this past week. Our daughter-in-law, my sister, and our sister-in-law all had birthdays in the same week just 4 days apart. I went to the store and got a bunch of birthday cards and anniversary cards too. It won't be long and it will be graduation cards too. It's a good thing I have everything written on the calendar or I would probably forget one of them.
