I turned 69 years old on Sept. 28. This is my last year in my 60's and I want to make the most of each day. I don't dread 70 at all. In fact, I embrace it when it comes.I had such a fun birthday celebration. I heard from all our girls and received some spending money that I have already spent buying luggage. My large suitcase died on my last trip and I needed another one for my next trip in the Spring. Thank you so much for the cards and lovely messages. It seems like the older you get the more meaningful the messages become.
After work Tami and Jeff came over to help us celebrate. We always have such a good time together and look forward to every occasion that we can do these memories together. I got this beautiful top that I loved from Christopher and Banks. I knew that I would wear this top at Tami's birthday celebration.
After taking our traditional timed picture together Tami and Jeff took us to Red Robin for dinner. It was a lovely evening and we all enjoyed it.
Yesterday, Oct. l, Tami and Jeff came over at 4:OO to celebrate Tami's birthday. We had all looked forward to this. Because Tami is a great TREASURE in our lives I had a TREASURE BOX THEME with balloons connected to TREASURE BOXES. Inside the boxes were messages to tell her what her gift was. It was a fun way to show our love and appreciation for Tami and all that she does for us.
After our timed picture, Tami chose Golden Corral for her birthday dinner. It 's always delicious there and Tami loves the salads. Tami has lost 25 pounds and still going strong with Weight Watchers. She looks wonderful and I admire how determined she is. When Tami puts her mind to something, nothing stops her. It reminds me of the rest of this family!
Before we left Tami wanted me to take a picture of the TREASURE BOXES, gifts and balloons.It was a wonderful and fun week. Now I have to be good in my eating again. It's great to go off once in awhile, especially on these kind of occasions.
