A Supremely Happy Birthday!

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I’ve had many birthdays, but the one this year has to be one of the very best. I was surprised and extremely pleased to hear from many friends and family members from the last eight decades.. I’m not counting the first three years, which I don’t remember, anyway. There were phone calls, text messages, greetings on the blog, a drop by visit, emails, cards, and e-cards. Oh! How blessed I am!

I had to laugh at being disappointed in one greeting I asked for. Addressing the Echo device while it was still dark, I said, “Alexa, today is my birthday.” She replied that she would sing Happy Birthday to me if I asked her. I asked for it. She sang slightly off key to a poor accompaniment of canned music. It was just short of awful!

I stopped to put a few pieces in the jigsaw puzzle as I went by it. David had worked half of the right side days before, and I finished that third. I love working a puzzle in sections! It’s a manageable challenge.

I had started writing this when I heard footsteps on the porch and a knock on the nearby window. It was Logan coming over to wish me a happy birthday! He stayed to visit, which was delightful. He is off from school until January 6 and is looking forward to relaxing and going to basketball practice.

I stayed home the whole day, but it was anything but quiet. I’ve been playing John’s Christmas CD’s all day every day for the past week. I may be able to play them all before Christmas ends in January. I’ll begin earlier next year.

Thank you to everyone who made my day so special. You are very precious to me!

      1. I do too, though I don’t wear them and should. Last year or the year before when I did the post about holiday pins, most which were bought by my mom through the years, I vowed to get dressed up for the holidays this year … I am promising myself to do that next year and decorate. The festive season is lost in this house.
