Hi Everyone, well, what a funny day today was.  My daughter and her husband have

been here a week and are leaving tomorrow, today was a family gathering to say

good bye,  or , so I thought.  When I walked out onto the patio at my

daughter's, everyone there yelled " SURPRISE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! " ......The funny

thing is, my birthday is Dec. 17!

But, 10 years ago, I planned a surprise birthday party, with all my kids, for my

oldest daughter. Her birthday is Sep. 3, and I said, let's have it in Aug. so

she won't suspect anything.  And the joke was on me, all the time I helped plan

her party, the party was for me, and when I got her to the surprise party, they

all yelled happy birthday to me!!  I was 70 then, and certainly was surprised. 

Well this week I told one of them, gee, it doesn't seem like 10 yrs. have passed

since you kids threw me that great surprise party - who would ever think they

would do it twice??  they did, and surprised me with a beautiful photo scrapbook

album they all worked together on, from my birth right up to today!

I am so fortunate to have 6 wonderful children, and everyone was telling their

favorite mother joke, or gramma joke or story, or they were talking about what

they did in their teens and got away with, (or not )

So, in Dec. now that I am 80 in August, will I be 80 1/2?   81? or just plain

old 80 ????  Anyway, it was a great day, hope you all  had a great day too,

blessings, Bobby
