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.
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.

HI Karen, Thank you so much for the good wishes and the compliment. I guess school is on now? Let's do some more stuff with the kids. p
ReplyDeleteHappy 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...
ReplyDeleteHope your day was amazing....
Hi Barbara, You are being way too kind but thank you very much. p
DeleteHappy, 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!
ReplyDeleteHI Pat, Thank you for the birthday good wishes and the compliment. I sure feel seventy. Hope to see you this winter. Your friend, p
DeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, It was really good to see you again. Your friend, p
Deletesheeeesh! 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
ReplyDeleteHi Gayle, Great to hear from you. Wish you would come to Ajijic this winter. Thank you again for making it a nice birthday for me and for the scarf/shawl/bathing suit cover-up. I love it. your friend, p
