Today Is My Day!

I am reposting my birthday post from last year and edited for this year.


Happy Birthday to Me!! The good news is I have made through another year. That is a good reason to celebrate ME. I am not doing anything special today though. Hubby and I both have to work . So today will be just a normal weekday for us. However, we will be going to The Container Store on Saturday and get more shelving for the sewing room closet. That is what I want for my birthday. I so bad want to finish the closet so I can organize my life. See my sewing blog for updates on that. We will also go out to dinner, but not sure when, probably on the weekend. And we plan to attend a Christmas Concert on Sunday.

But today is a good day to reflect and be grateful that I still have good health for the most part and have a job and that I am able to go to work. On the light side, I find it fun that I can fool people. Most folks I meet in my job think I am way younger than I really am. Heehee. I have to thank my genes for that one. I believe those genes I get mainly from my father. When he was younger he would get the same kind of comments. We were always amused by that. That reminds me, I am also grateful that I still have both of my parents.



I had to add this blinkie. I don't remember any hills. I am not planning on going over any yet either. Not for a long time!

When I was growing up one thing we did for my birthday was to go Christmas tree hunting. My mother usually had the family over to our house for a birthday dinner for me. But before the dinner we went to a tree farm to go and cut down our trees. The summer I was twelve we moved to where my parents live now and there was a tree farm right next door. That made it easy. That tree farm is not there anymore. The owners sold off a couple of lots and there are two or three homes that have been built. In the rest of the area the trees continued to grow and now they are quite tall. I remember the traffic on our street during the holidays when the tree farm was still in business.

For fun, I thought I would share a picture of me when I was a wee thing. Hope you all have a good day for my birthday!

Happy Day!
