The Gathering at Walter Mitty's

We had a great gathering at Walter Mitty's on Saturday afternoon. Word got out that I am having a birthday soon, tomorrow, and I got some very nice gifts. Above is a photo of everyone but me.  (I am the photographer.)  In order from left to right: Allison, Bob, Donna, Pam, Jan, Jack and Virginia. In the second photo, Gayle is pretending to be Wilson from Home Improvement and I am wearing the beautiful pink shawl that she knitted for me. The card is part of the gift from Donna.

What great friends! I am so lucky. It makes turning seventy a bit easier. It was a successful get together. How do I know? I know when no one wants to leave. We were there over two hours and still people wanted to hang out and talk. Thank you all for sharing such a special time for me.

  1. Fun! What a beautiful scarf!!! Happy Birthday to you...you sure don't look 70, and I'm not kidding. So glad you got to enjoy time with friends. I would have loved to join you...someday I will! Have a great day tomorrow, too.

  3. Happy Birthday! You can't be 70! Seriously?? I'm stunned. I'm 64 and all these years I thought you were several years younger than me. Oh my gosh. Just goes to show you what living right will do! You look fabulous! I still can't believe it...

    Hope your day was amazing....

  4. Happy, happy birthday, Patricia! Everyone is right, you look nowhere near 70. This must be a testament to what everyone says about the relaxing atmosphere, good fresh food, and friendships in Ajijic. They definitely are working for you. Stay healthy!

  5. I really enjoyed seeing and being with everyone on Sat. sorry I didn't make it to see your son play or spend more time with you on Sat. evening, but money is so tight right now it's not even funny! I spent beyond what I should have from my trip to Maine and MA. Loved seeing you so much tho! Pam in OR

  6. sheeeesh! Gayle looks like she needs a haircut! Yes, it was a sweet little party & I just wish we'd all done a 'cake walk' sort of thing & changed chairs so we could have all talked to people we weren't sitting next to. Enjoy the scarf/shawl/bathing suit cover-up... stretch it out, get it dirty, throw it under your feet to wash it up: no worries! It will stretch out with wear & hopefully you'll be able to wear it for years to come. After all... it IS YOUR COLOR! hugs, Gayle
