Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone. Unfortunately I was in the hospital for my birthday. It wasn't too bad, hubby decorated my room, brought me all my presents and lots of cards from friends and family. Plus a friend brought me a black forest cake. It turned out there was a mix up and I wasn't suppose to be on solid food yet. Oh well, I got cake at least. :) They still don't know what is causing all my pain. I went down to Prince George and had an ultra sound done. It showed that I have a cyst on my left ovary but the majority of my pain is about 4" above my right ovary. Right now my doctor thinks I have three different things contributing to my pain. The cyst on my left ovary, endometriosis and possibly my bowels. I ended up on Friday going back down to Prince George to have another test done. Those results should be in sometime this week. I'm just hoping that something will show and that it is fixable. I'm tired of all this pain. Right now I'm not too bad painwise. I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital until we had my pain level down to something I could live with at home. So, for the most part as long as I take my pain killers every four hours and don't overdue myself I'm good to go. If I don't, I'm in pain laying on the couch. And I can't go to emerge as the level of pain killers I'm on is so high they couldn't give me anything else. I am waking up several times during the night depending on when my last dose was before bed. I just get up, take my meds after checking to make certain it has been four hours since my last dose, reheat my rice bag in the microwave and then read my book for 20 minutes until my pain is back under control and then I can go to sleep. So that is what has been going on with me. Thanks again for all the birthday greetings. They were nice to come home too. Oh, and Marcia, thanks for giving the answer for me on the gardening quiz.

Thanks very much, all. I spent a very quiet birthday which was just the way I wanted it. This was the big five oh and my extended family wanted to have a big surprise party but DS #2 had hockey, DS #3 had a concert he wanted to go to and DS #1. . . well at least he stopped by unannounced to have a piece of cake with me. That in itself is a big birthday present. I really, really did not want the big soiree. I threw a big surprise party for my oldest brother 6 years ago and they all figured that I would want the same thing. Fortunately, DH and my best friend both stepped in and said that they knew I wouldn't want it. My best friend (since we were 12) brought me over fifty roses - red and soft ivory. They are absolutely gorgeous. They filled my 2 biggest vases. I used your preservative recipe for them, Pudge and they still look fantastic today. For the life of me, Marcia, I can't find the date for the autumn equinox in 1957. My mother brought me up telling me that I was born on the first day of fall so I've always thought of myself as a fall baby. Anyone have a perpetual calendar showing equinoxes and solstices from that ancient date? I've never really thought to search it out before. BTW, I decided yesterday that age reverses at this plateau. Next year I will be 49, the year after that 48, etc, etc. It's all a state of mind, isn't it? : ) When I told my brother that, he laughed and said that would mean I would be playing with dolls again in 40 years. He's probably right. I've had a really, really hectic summer this year (thus my silence) but hopefully, by mid-Oct. things will have settled down and I will be joining in with all of you again.

Aw, Cindee, I'm sorry I'm late! I had to go out of town to take care of my granddaughter, as my son was sick. But it's never to late to wish you a wonderful year! Hope your special day was happy and that the upcoming year brings you loads and loads of things you want...more orchids, more amaryllis, more time in the garden...the whole deal!! Birthday Hugs To You! Marcia

Happy Rainy Monday!

Okay, I'm glad we are finally getting rain, honestly I am. But I don't understand why it has to make up for the previouis 3 months in 2 days! It has not even slowed down...no break at all...since it started Sunday night. I'm having a heck of a time getting my dogs to go outside long enough to take care of business. Potter will go out in a sprinkle, but not a downpour. Maks freaks over either one. That's Florida for you...it's either drought or monsoon. Never any middle ground! I have company coming tomorrow, and a nursery hopping day was what we had in mind. If something doesn't happen, that will have to be cancelled. Yeah, I know I'm complaining, but I could use some MODERATION around here. Going directly from burning up to drowning is frustrating. (Some of my plants are now beaten down pretty badly, so those particular ones aren't laughing.) *mutter, mumble, grumble* Trying to keep in mind that everything looks greener, and the water table needs replenishing. But why, oh why, does it have to be all at once? Of course, the temperature has fallen 20 degrees, and I have the windows all open again. That's nice. But still.... Marcia (wishing for a couple of hours 3 times a week instead of a deluge...there's no making me happy, is there!)

Just keeping up my day late tradition this year. Happy, happy birthday, dear Marcia, belatedly. Is the tush a bit chilly from swimming or have you been gardening so much that your warming the tired old muscles in a hot bath? : )

Hope it was a happy day, Grandma.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes! As you can see, i've been busy and haven't been on the computer for a couple of days. We had a shower planned for Sandy and my mother is here for the weekend, and other stuff going on, so i just haven't been here.

It was a good birthday. My first present came at about 5:00 a.m. when i heard "Mrrrrow!" outside my bedroom window. Java brought me a dead bird. How sweet of her.... Someone said that maybe she misunderstood and thought it was my "bird"day. Grooooooooooooooan! LOL I got lots of birthday hugs at school and the kids sang over the intercom. A couple of older girls gave me a box of chocolates and a homemade card.

We had our shower for Sandy that evening. My birthday was the cover plot, so she showed up with presents for me and got presents for her instead! The doctor told her "any day now" last week, even though her due date isn't until June 17th, so i was hoping the baby would come on my birthday, but i guess this one wants its own date, to heck with grandma! :) We're still waiting.

Gifts for me included an adirondack chair and a crabapple tree from Eddie and Sandy. I think they might have it planned for me to sit under the tree with the baby! LOL They also gave me some gardening tools and a few plants. My sister-in-law gave me some magnetic photo frames for baby pictures, and i got gift certificates from local nurseries as well. Just while i was writing this, i remembered that my mother-in-law had handed me a gift on Friday before the shower and i'd forgotten about it in all the commotion, so i just went to open it - some stepping stones and a garden plaque. :) I'll have to call her up and say thanks.

No, Sharon, i was not freezing my (54-year) old butt off at the lake! LOL Even Mike thinks it's too darn cold to bother going out. There are lots of disappointed tourists around here this year!

Thanks again, everyone - you all make birthdays a lot more special! :)
