Thank you all!! Cathy-you made me cry....its the first year with no phone call from mom and yes she would have sung to me. Really having a tough time with that today. I know she is singing and I feel her with me today. Its been a very busy day here. Amy has been home for fall break and it was her last day here so we went shopping for all her "stuff" to take back. Then I helped Frank close the pool....yes we got a pool-it was the last thing on our summer list and by waiting we got a great deal. Sadly we didn't get the chance to use it. Just put it up and closed it. Finally I seeded the front lawn and around the pool...been meaning to do it a few days now. I am looking for another good rainy day to help me out LOL!! I am going to pop open a cold one in a few and watch dwts results!! Thanks again for all the kind wishes! Susie

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. It has been a great week. The partying started last Friday and have one more to go.. Silly family. Between my kids and some crazy friends the birthday goes on forever!! Again, thanks. Susie

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I had to deal with the password thing on Houzz and I was rather busy the weekend and all day today it seems. I read each and every post and I do appreciate all of them. No, did not have a meal or a party yesterday. Just home, had a to go box for lunch from the church that youngest daughter brought me and later she and granddaughter Alyssa came with gifts and then later oldest daughter Cheryl came. We just visited. Thanks all. Sue and Izzi Too

Hope you've been having a lovely and memorable birthday today, Susie. Good wishes for some beautiful things happening in the year ahead. ole joyful
