Where Have the Years Gone?!
I remember very well turning 50. People at work hung a banner & said they couldn't believe I was that old--haha! Now I'm starting my last year in the 60s & thankfully no coworkers--love being retired! Instead I have many dear blog friends who bless my life. I can no longer say I feel 10 years younger than I am, but I'm so grateful for life. I never say I don't count birthdays. So many people would have loved to have a 69th birthday, including my mom. She was very talented including writing poems for family events. She wrote the birth announcements for us 3 kids & thought you might like to see mine. My dad carried all 3 of them in his wallet his entire life & it's his handwriting you see. The picture was on the front & then you saw the poem when you opened the little card.
Thank you all for your friendship. I'm off to work on cards before I go get my free Starbucks!

ReplyDeleteI love that you shared that birth announcement. Your Mom was very talented as are you. I can see you take after her in that respect. My Mom was into writing poetry too and for awhile I also wrote some. But now my days are mostly making cards for my creative urges. Happy birthday to you too!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of your today and hoped you were enjoying a beautiful birthday!! You're a blessing in my life sweet friend. Hope your free Starbucks was delish!
