Happy Birthday to Me

So what can I do, I turned 50.  I called Mom because she did all the work… and I get all the attention.  But it was a fun birthday.

Mike bought me beautiful flowers the week before he went hunting and the week after.  So I’ve had flowers in my kitchen for a month!

Melissa made me my favorite cake.  Wedding cake with frosting – all from scratch!  Not sure what happened with the presentation, but it tasted great!

Tammy and the boys sent a big bunch of balloons (all happy, no “over the hill”) and all my kids gave me hugs and birthday wishes. 

I went to Manito Park with Carol and Diane.  Such a wonderful, warm, sunny fall day.  The flower gardens are my favorite place in all Spokane.  So when Diane called and suggested lunch, I suggested a picnic at the park.  Carol made it fun with Happy Birthday tablecloth, plates, napkins and everything - even a crystal cake plate.  We walked around the flowers and had the best afternoon.

Carol had never seen the Japanese Gardens so Diane and I showed her.  And we walked thru the rose garden on our way.
