Thanks to all of you. I've received several surprises already. Our son called and all the little ones sang Happy Birthday to me. Then Charlie, the 4 yr old asked "Daddy, is it her last one"? I don't understand how he comes up with things.
I have my mother (who passed away 2 years ago)
and my father (who can't carry a tune)
and my niece (who was 9, now 15)
singing Happy Birthday to me on my answering machine.
I'll save them forever, if I can.
Those are priceless gifts.
Thanks for the well wishes. It has been a very good day for me. Lots of calls, emails, etc - even flowers and presents. I feel like a queen - well, a princess anyway.
I"m getting something very nice today too. My daughter's birthday is two days before mine so my gd is taking us both for pedicures and lunch. I may need a nap after that.
