My Birthday

[Guest guest]

Thought I'd let you know about my birthday. It's going really well. Bob

surprised me with a Surprise Birthday cookout with some of our friends.

He had planned the party for over 2 weeks and I knew nothing about it.

He ordered a 1/4th sheet cake that said Happy 50th Birthday Vicki, and

was covered in yellow roses. He bought me 1-1/2 dozen carnations in

assorted colors. One of our friends gave me a huge hybiscus plant (with

really huge purple flowers). Another couple gave me a 2 pin set that

looks like a tea kettle and sugar bowl. Another couple gave me a really

cute figurine of a fairy (they thought it was an angel). And we had the

cookout at their house. Had a wonderful time. Came home and my son

called about 15 minutes later and we talked for about 45 minutes. We

had planned to go out to dinner tonight too but found out the

restaurant closes early on Sundays so we'll go there tomorrow night

instead.

I got a number of birthday cards from friends and family and a couple

of gifts from penpals. I'm still waiting to hear from a couple of

relatives but I expect I'll hear from them tomorrow or Tuesday. But all

in all I had a wonderful 50th birthday. One I can remember fondly.
