I have a wonderful family!

at 01/13/09 10:46PM
I received so many birthday phone calls today from my parents and from various members of family that I was blessed with through marriage. I was sung to by both my father (He's so funny! -or should I be insulted that I "smell like a monkey and look like one too"?) and by my passel o' nephews - so cute! My friend invited me out to lunch, my husband & children took me out to dinner and my children had wrapped presents of Godiva chocolates hidden around the house which they were thrilled to whip out for me to unwrap and share. It was a good day. I'm actually thinking I may have a small get together with my favorite cake from Whole Foods bakery and a very few local friends next weekend. God loves me. Life is beautiful.

    The boys love singing on the phone for birthdays- inherited from Grandma, I'm sure! Glad you had a good day (I was sick in bed on my last birthday)! Love you much!

    It was a great day to be born, huh? Popular birthday on Pleo ~ and both times I went out yesterday, the table next to us had a birthday, too. I had a great time ~ hope you did, too! Happy Birthday!!! :-)

    (Oh, and my dad always sings to me on the phone, too...I think after yesterday, I now have about 4 messages on my cell phone from him singing to me on my birthdays. ;-))

    I read your comments on her page. I had no idea your family knew John and Rhonda! Small world.

    We've known them for years. Our oldest son is the same age as John. We love them!

    I first read your husband's entry about his brother's wedding, and was intrigued by his "beautiful wife's" pleo name.... I love tea AND herbs. I know several of your "friends" through Pleonast, though I haven't met them. (I came into Pleonast at my sister's urging) Loved your acknowledgment of your husband here and below. I use Pleo as a respite from some of the ugliness in the world. You helped me today. Thank you.

    Greetings. This is Zachary Hamilton. I was told by your husband that I ought to ask you "what [you] gleaned as [your father] was researching to buy [a hammer dulcimer]," because I'm researching to get one myself. =)
    Thanks for your help in advance.
