A Special Day-Thank you!

You cannot keep a secret in blogland or facebook! Yesterday was my birthday. I had to work so it was an ordinary day or so I thought. I woke up around 6:30 to about 15 phone calls from friends and family telling me Happy Birthday! Then I turn on my computer and see lots of emails from facebook,blogger buddies, friends and family telling me happy birthday. My Sweet Mother had put the sweetest post on for my birthday! My mother does so much for me I could not start to list the blessings. She is my quilting buddy and we have a ball. I have to say I was a pretty little fat baby. Thank you Mom. My sweet husband had bought me some real nice clothes for my gift. Its funny...I cannot shop for him but I love for him to shop for me! He has great taste plus I hate shopping! My MIL gave me a beautiful table cloth. My dad is helping me do some work and I went to pick him up and he had me the sweetest card. Thank you Vicki for the sweet comment on Moms blog and to everyone who visited my moms blog! I received several cards in the mail when I got home. Maranda bought me a beautiful blue soft robe and Mandy bought me a really cute jogging suit. They know me well. Jogging suits and pajamas..........thats me! My son gave me a gift card to eat out and Shannon has give me different blessings all week long.

Maranda & Lane invited us over for a quiet dinner at their home. It was so nice. She knows that I never get coconut cake because no one likes it but me so she made me one. She made her daddy some fudge that was out of this world. They fixed one of the best dinners I have ever eaten. She had Pork Tenderloin Roast, Squash casserole (YUM), mac & cheese, butter beans (my favorite) and collard greens & cornbread. It was wonderful.

Maybe they will share some recipes!

Maranda & Lane went off into another room and came back with this beautiful cake and told me to blow out the candles.

I blew and blew and blew and called Randy for help. They had those candles that keep flickering when you blow them out. Their house is so beautiful. They still are remodeling and have lots to do. They haven't purchased their blinds yet so there is still plastic on the window. They have worked so hard and it is gorgeous. They have a separate formal dining room but it is not finished yet so we ate in the kitchen. It was so nice, quiet and peaceful and you can feel "love" in their home. Lane helps her with everything. He treats her like a queen and she treats him like a king. They are such a blessing to our family.
Thank you Maranda & Lane!

Then we went to our granddaughter, "Angel's" basketball game. It was so good. Of course they won. Actually they haven't lost any. She scored and played a great game. I know that I have not mentioned everything and everyone that did something for my birthday but I want to say thank you to everyone. You made my day! I don't think I have ever had so many calls, cards, emails, & messages than yesterday! Thank you. So much for keeping my birthday quiet!!! I love being 55 years old. It is the best time of my whole life! Seriously.
