Birthday Week

Sixty years ago my life began.  I was the third child born to my parents.  I had two older brothers, Gary and Reed.  Gary was seven at the time, and here we are celebrating my birthday so many years later.  Reed is in heaven....having a good time watching! 


I loved having my family with me on this momentous day.  Not everyone could come but they were with me in their thoughts! 
 My heart is full of love for each of you!

During my "Birthday" week, I received two lovely plants from friends.  One is a large burgundy mum and the other is a mixed basket of evergreens.  I like how they look sitting on the bench my father built....sixty years ago.  The bench is reminder that if we do something..build something...do your best....because it will last! 
Thank you...dear friends and family!
