I had a terrific birthday and am just starting to get tired now. Rodney made shish-ka-bobs for dinner. Chicken and sirloin steak. Then we decided we didn't want anything too heavy to go along with it, so we settled on a fantastic salad with all of the fixings. For dessert later that night we had New York Cheese cake and it was delicious. I'm stuffed and happy. The grandkids were here making it very nice and just Shannon our daughter and Rodney. Very small get-together, but it was perfect.

I got all sorts of office supplies, including a new keyboard. Wow, we have letters again. LOL I wear off the letters. I don't know why, but I do. First thing I did was make up homemade thank you cards for the kids and family members. I had a blast. I love the card making program that I have and I make some really nice cards. It's not that I'm cheap, I just love making them. And I think that they mean more if someone makes them up for you. OKay, maybe I am cheap. LOL

Thank you to everyone that wished me well on my special day. It was indeed special. Sometimes I get a little blue on my birthday because 31 years ago my God-daughter died on my birthday morning. We've never really gotten over that. Poor Shannon was a little blue today because of that. Jennifer was her best friend in the world. She was ten when she died. Rodney always tries very hard to make my day nice to help get past the blues and he almost always succeeds. Yesterday was a good example. He had me laughing and we talked about things that weren't sad and the day flew by. But I think my favorite part was the cheese cake. LOL Is that one word or two?

Have a wonderful week, everyone. I wish you all well.

Hugs, Patt
