Tuesday the 23rd - Happy Birthday to me!!! Yep….it’s official….I’m 70! I feel totally different from yesterday…..naw….just foolin’.
It was a regular morning….Michael had cereal for breakfast, then returned most of the ‘’tea’’ hats (about 5 of them were mine) before taking Freya to the dog park.
I was in the studio, quilting on the QoV until around NOON when I headed over to Panera. I met up with Anna (the caterer) and Iris (knitting student and owner of her own business) to give Anna some tips about expanding/increasing her business. Iris was a fount of knowledge and I hope Anna didn’t leave with her head completely spinning!
I continued to quilt on the QoV and finally finished it by dinnertime:
before Michael left for the movies, and Iris swung by for a nice long visit.

Wednesday (7/24) was an incredibly lovely day…other than a massage at lunchtime (heaven!) I read my book for AN ENTIRE DAY!!!! Morning, afternoon, and even evening when I was joined by Michael reading his book…that is all I did on Wednesday….perfect!

Michael packed up the car on Thursday (7/26) and I picked up Nancy and headed off to quilting. What a wonderful day….there’s just a feeling of joy and happiness in the air…I just can’t quite explain it! Everyone was so happy to be there…and we had wonderful (if small) show and tell:
We all broke for lunch…and that’s when they surprised me with a cake…and all sang Happy Birthday:
It really is a wonderful group of people!!
I got home around 2 and continued to read my book for just an hour or so before being picked up by Laura, joining up with Pam, and meeting up with Diane at ILLUSIONS:
They were all so sweet, they took me out for wine (we ended up killing 2 bottles of prosecco….yum!)
and delicious munchies:
before our designated driver brought us all home around 8 PM. I have really had quite a number of birthday celebrations already (and I think they are not done yet!) My honey and I snuggled and watched TV for the rest of the night.
I thought my hair looked pretty good, so I asked Michael to take a pic to change out my FB pic (if I could figure out how to even do that!), but of course I don't like it...maybe next time (or maybe when I finally realize I really do look like that!)
I couldn't choose just one entry from 10 years ago.....they all sounded interesting to me, so here you go:
tutorial on pesto making....
when I turned 60!
continuing frustrations with previous longarm...Miss Scarlett
tumbling blocks
actual birthday celebration
*** Some call it multi-tasking…I call it doing something else while I try to remember what I was supposed to be doing in the first place. ***
*** I don’t understand why people have to ‘’get ready’’ for bed….I’m always ready for bed. ***
*** It's important to lock your car doors, especially now....otherwise friends, neighbors, even strangers will put free zucchini in your car! ***
Lots of birthday fun!
( & I love reading the blogs from the past!)
Glad you had a nice Birthday! It is good to hear!
