Another Birthday :-)

Today is my birthday, which is something at my age you have mixed feelings about celebrating, LOL. The number is the problem--not the gifts ;-) I've just decided I'm going to pick an age (I'm picking 35) and sticking with it for as long as I can get away with it.

I know, I know, I should embrace my age and be proud of it. Should go around proclaiming to the world that I'm now out of the 30s and into the 40s (ugh, ugh, ugh).
That picture, BTW, was taken at Isaac's restaurant in Plymouth, which is right on the harbor. My daughter took it (she's pretty good, and is planning on taking photography classes). We went to Plimouth Plantation that day and saw the Mayflower II, along with one of the Tall Ships. It was a great day--one of the very few days when we had great weather in Massachusetts, LOL.
Anyway, today I'm planning on having lots of cake ;-) and maybe buying myself something I wouldn't normally buy :-). My teenaged daughter wrote me the SWEETEST note ever--made me cry--and I think I'm seriously going to have to frame it. That alone is the best present ever, and makes me glad to be the age I am. If I wasn't, I couldn't have such a sweet 15yo ;-)

  1. Happy birthday, Shirley! And the fact that you can call your 15-year-old SWEET means you're doing it ALL right!

  3. Happy Birthday a day late!

    Your daughter must be sweet because of you. (I suppose your husband has something to do with it, but I'm guessing it's a lot of influence from you.)

    You make the world a better place every day, with your kindness, and zest for life. Age truly is just a number and it looks good on you.
