The Joy of Birthday

Getting old isn't all bad.
Because of the birthday gifts

Some were sweet,

Ladurée's macarons

They're so easy on my eyes and on my belly.

Some were from myself

Pan Am bag

I've been looking for a decent Pan Am bag for ages
I was hoping to get it at the Air and Space Museum
when we were in DC.

But, they didn't have one that I liked enough to buy.

Funnily enough, I found this bag when we were in Yverdon!!


Some arrived in the mail box from NYC.

When I push on the "Press Here", the flash goes off,
making the shutter sounds at the same time

I was mesmerized!!


Some arrived from Singapore.

This card is already cute enough.


But,


Look!!

These little cards on a string can be pulled out of the cake.
Soo cute.


Some came via Facebook and emails.
Friends wished me happy birthday from all over the world.
It's absolutely great to feel loved.

The feeling is mutual


Some came in an orange box.

Five minutes before the end of my birthday.
Steven is such a tease.


I had a fabulous day
Thank you, Steven.
And big thanks to all of you who sent me kind birthday wishes

You made my day.
