Happy Birthday To Me

Olivia and her Mimi. She was singing Happy Birthday and helped me blow out the candles. Didn't get to have our Princess Gabrielle but saved her some cake for tomorrow.
Tony and Olivia with Darci's kids Ali and Alonzo. They all helped decorate the tree after Donnie, Teddi, Charlee and I put it up. I'd have never made it without them.

Well I have now made it to 58. I can hardly believe it. I feel like I am about 30 (except for the aching knees) still raring to go. When I woke up , my sweet Cliff had sent me a txt message telling me happy birthday. He is stuck in North Dakota in the freezing cold. It always amazes me to look thru history and see what men have sacrificed on behalf of their families. I appreciate, respect and love him so much. He and my kids and grandchildren are more gift than any woman deserves, so that is my gift; all the love from my and Cliff's families. WOO HOO!! I am loved.
All the Nevada kids are coming tonight for my bday. I made a hugh Lasagna Florentine and my favorite cake, my version of Tres Leches limon'. Yum. Can't wait

I have been busy getting the house decorated for Christmas. I usually don't do it this early but we will be in Grand Junction part of the time so I wanted to enjoy it all I can. The kids are gonna help me put up the tree tonight. It will be nice to have the help. I asked Cliff if he would mind not being here and he said it would be OK he would not get his feelings hurt. That way it should be very festive when everyone comes for Thanksgiving. I have most of my shopping done for dinner but none of my Christmas shopping done. I am usually done wrapped and mailed by Thanksgiving........what's up this year. It's mainly I have no clue what to get anyone. I hate the gift card thing but that may be what the big kids end up with. I can't imagine what anyone would want so....................The little kids are pretty easy and fun so that will be my shopping focus. Thank heavens Cliff and I don't do the gift thing or I would go mad!!HA Besides Santa will want what he wants every year, a sexy nightie!!!

Had to post this collage that Toby made he posted it to Reddit and it was #1 on the front page for quite sometime. He needs to be a political satirist.
