Another Birthday

I have never wanted to celebrate my own birthday, and would prefer to just sleep through the day or have everyone forget and let it pass by without notice.  But you can see I have a celebrating family who never want to miss an opportunity to get together and have a good time.

It's still morning, I'm still in my pj's and robe, and I just got a call from Steve asking if I could come to their house this evening for my birthday dinner.  I have been anxious to see their house, and now I have an opportunity to let someone else drive me there.  My birthday isn't until a few days from now, but everyone would like to get together while Ara is in town (she will leave for Philly tomorrow).   I have gone through my meager lot of "celebration clothes" the past couple of days, and I have no idea what I can wear - I have sweat pants set out for today!  Gotta go check my closets again and see what I can come up with.

I'm a lucky woman - every one of my kids is as sweet and thoughtful as can be!  I thank God every day for them.

So be prepared for more birthday party photos in the near future.  Then we have Joe's birthday on the 25th of Nov. - more opportunity to gather, eat and drink together, and raise a ruckus!
