Thank you all, my dear, dear friends. Yesterday we had one of those days here at our house -- no water for 36 hours, Freya sneaking a pizza off the kitchen counter, and the smell of fresh polyurethane pervading the cold, damp house.... On the other hand, I had the loving affection of Tom and my DS Jacob, calls and cards from family, and greetings from all of you. And tonight we're going out to dinner to try celebrate again. Carla, Luanne, Jon, Anita, Lori, Ingrid, Sue, Carolina, Pamela, and Carol -- each one of your messages brought smiles and memories to my mind. I just realized that with the exception of Ingrid, I know each one of you in the Real World (as opposed to online) -- Ingrid, we'll just have to correct that soon. The only birthday wish I have left (besides more rain) is to hope that I get to see you all again as frequently and as soon as may be. Rosefolly

Boy, I am really late. I just got my laptop back today. The 3rd would have been my DH's 81st. So was a bit sad for me. But......I hope you had a really really good day. Kathy

Thanks for the birthday wishes! This is the 5-0 birthday for me and it's just hard for me to believe it! After yesterday though, I'm FEELING it! LOL The house my boys lived in when they were in college is going on the market today so I was over there painting the kitchen cabinets and staging the bathrooms (cleaned them spic-n-span first). Oh my, I have soreness in places I didn't even know I had places! It probably didn't help that I came home and practically guzzled a bottle of wine while in the hot tub! So I guess 49 went out with a bang and 50 is coming in with a whimper. :-)

Thank you, everyone. This birthday has had a long celebration because of the kids' work and vacation schedules. My younger son had just finished a case, so he flew out from New York City two weeks ago, and he and his older brother cooked a dinner for us. My older son is quite the foodie now, so he set the menu and assigned some to his brother. We started with sangria made with rose wine (the rose is to please their dad) flavored with peaches, raspberries, oranges, and cointreau. Then we had a really delicious cold watermelon and tomato soup, which is not cooked, but it is pureed in the blender with mint, shallot, and almonds. The main course was a lovely halibut filet battered and deep fried for fish tacos, with cilantro, shredded cabbage, and two sauces. Dessert was a pear gallat the younger one made with salt and caramel gellato sprinkled with finely chopped, toasted pecans. Somewhere in that evening, I opened my gift from the older son and his wife, which was Tom Collins glasses for the mojitos he is a master at concocting. He introduced me to them, and that is now my favorite cocktail. Of course, we had to try them out immediately too. We felt duly pampered.

Our daughter and grandsons came down for a day out, and we decided we would have lunch together after she returns from the family vacation.

So now it is my birthday, and the kids are flung far and wide. The eldest is our daughter, and she and her family are vacationing in a beach condo with all the in-laws in Destin, Florida. My older son and DIL are enroute to visit with his in-laws in Montana, but they are taking two weeks camping at national parks to and from there. They love to camp. And my younger son is back at work in Manhattan.

My brother called. We have been trying to get together for dinner this month, so we will do so tonight at Morton's. It will be nice to see my sweet sister-in-law and their son and have a nice birthday meal with family too.

I cannot believe I am as old as I am.

Happy Birthday, Sheila Joyce! I would say you are truly blessed to have had so much birthday celebration. Not many can say that on their birthday they already have their birthday memories, LOL. So, now that the family is away, just pamper yourself and relax. My mother always said, "Time flies when you're having fun", and since you say you can't believe you are as old as you are, I'm thinking you've had a wonderful life so far.
