I love birthdays! I have felt better over the years. I like it!

Yesterday I told a funny story about my last birthday: read on if you missed it ... and today is someone else!

When I was 17, I was afraid people would forget it was my birthday. Just a week after my mother died, I needed extra love and care. That day I went to school and told everyone in the hallway that it was my birthday.

Hey guess what? Today is my birthday! I greeted everyone I saw and told them to compliment me. That was long before the advent of Facebook and social media ... so word of mouth was the only way to get attention or take notes!

That night I had to have a scout dinner (pretty boring) with Dad because my mom just died and needed a "plus 1" ... so I spent my birthday with my dad. I had a great time with her and happy that I could help, no doubt she feels the loss of a beloved husband.

When I got home that evening, I saw a table full of chocolates, flowers and stuffed animals waiting for me.

Apparently, most of the kids I mentioned had their age at school, and they did when I was away! It was a pleasant surprise!

Geez, I like your attention! So easy to get along with !!!

And I love the paint!
