CMK!
Yes, Wednesday was my birthday. And, no, I didn't do anything special. K is still on night shift, so that kind of put the crimp into any kind of celebration.
I received cards from the best people in my life and I did get some gifts. A and her husband sent me a book with a collection of Mother Goose & Grimm cartoons in it. That and Far Side are my favorite comic strips. One of my bestest friends brought me a gift last night. I am SOOOO lucky to have her--her sister owns an antique store and puts on estate sales, so my friend gets the neatest gifts. This year, she brought me a Nativity set that is Mexican and looks to be handmade by a local artist. I am continuing my collecting of Nativities and she has added to it for several years. She always finds very unique and intriguing sets. Another bestest friend of mine and I will be going for a day of shopping and then to dinner on Saturday in honor of my birthday. YAY!! Shopping and eating--who could ask for anything more!
I believe K is ecstatic whenever I get a new obsession, as it makes his gift buying so much easier. He, again, got me Red Wing pendants. He said he thought I needed a silver one, so he got that and a new gold one, too. I don't know when he expects me to wear all of the ones he has boughten, but I love them anyway! Here is a picture of my new ones (the silver one is on the right):
AND, here is a picture of the last two he got me--the one I thought I lost is on the left and the replacement he bought me for Christmas last year is the other one:

Happy somewhat belated Birthday!! I think you should wear all the pendants all the time-just be careful when you roll over in bed! Also read your Christmas blog, want you to know I still have your snowflakes, they are still a part of my tree, my Mother had made me some too, when she still could. I also miss your cranberry bread and Nisu, but not as much as I miss our 'coffee time'. You have touched many lives and I know if I need you, you would be there, just as I would for you. Love always.........
ReplyDeleteYeah, I could do my best Mr. T impersonation, hey? I guess Red Wing memorabilia is going to be the next collection that will be trust upon me!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to find anyone for 'coffee time' anymore--there just aren't that many of us stay-at-homes or even part time workers around. Just one of many things I miss about you being gone! :)
SO glad you still have some snowflakes--these days my hands hurt too much for me to make them. Neither one of the girls has even one--I will try again, maybe next year. :(
Thank you for the happy birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
