Yesterday was MY Birthday! What a day!

Good  morning world!  Yesterday was an awesome day!  It was my birthday and my youngest son, P.J. had the whole day planned out.

P.J. was going to get up before me to make coffee and breakfast if I wanted it.  Tyler got up before him and made coffee.  I woke  up before P.J., but after Tyler, so coffee was made.  Later in the morning P.J. made some pancakes for me.  I know, it was not on my diet.  However, it was my birthday!

I could not  help do anything.  P.J. was busy cleaning because he knows I love a clean house or so he said.  Patrick took me to lunch.  I figured something was up then.  Patrick does not take me to lunch.  By the time we got back, several people were in my house for a surprise party.

They had hidden the cars behind the stacked hay so I could not see them.  I was very surprised!  Although I slightly suspected.  I was, nonetheless, surprised!  Amy and her family stayed for a while, then had to leave.  But I was so happy to see her here.  Patrick's Mom was here.  As well as another family.  My sister in law and father in law showed up later.

P.J. started chicken on the grill as everyone visited.  We ate, laughed, and talked.  There where 2 cakes as it was close to the Mom of the other family's birthday a couple of days before.

Then there was presents!  I had already opened Amy's present.  A new journal and pens!  She knows me.  Plus it was pink!

Tommy had taken us out to Chinese the night before as my present.  Patrick took me to Mexican for lunch.  I guess that was my present from him.  P.J. had already given me a new fall table cloth so the table would be pretty.  He also gave me a couple of pretty prints that  had cats in them.  Mom gave me a new kitty calendar for the rest of this year and next with some money (always a plus).  The other family gave me some camo shot glasses for my Dad's bar.

Then David's present came out.  He gave me a new camp chair.  Different than the rest of our camp chairs.  It's canvas with pink camo trim and from RealTree.  I know how much it cost.  We had looked at them once at the local home center.  WOW!

All in all, it was a fantastic birthday!  The fellowship with family and friends was great!  One family I sorely missed, however, was the Griswold's.  They are usually here for everything.  They were at a couple of shows for their company, Sturdiguns.  I will be seeing them today for home church though.

I am blessed beyond measure for sure!

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,
