Birthdays
Today is my 77th birthday. I'm not going to consider myself old until I'm 80, and then I might. Is that OK? My great -grand-daughter is 4 today, and one of my daughters is.........let me see.......she was born in 1973, so that makes her..........wait a minute, let me find a pencil and a piece of paper. Hmm.........42, she's 42!
Youngest son will be 31 on Tues. He wanted chocolate chip cookies for his birthday, so I made enough today for him and some of his friends. We'll have our big birthday party on Sunday, if the weather isn't too bad. He won't come for it, as he was just here for Christmas, and it's a long drive from NY. Another son who lives here in town also has a Jan. birthday, so there will be 4 of us birthday people. Tex. daughter and grand-daughter plan to fly here tomorrow and stay until Mon. Meanwhile, we have temps below freezing and snow most of the day today. Yuck. I have not been outside today, and don't plan on going out tomorrow. Hate to think what our heating bill will be. With Mother being 97, and hubby still getting over his heart and lung problems, we have to keep the house warm enough. We have geothermal heat and AC, but it still costs quite a bit.
I have a new library book which I plan to start reading tonight. Didn't have cake today, but I ate enough of the cookies that I don't feel deprived. Hope all of you are doing well, and staying warm and dry.

Happy Birthday!!! Mine was last week -- in 2015, I'll turn 75 -- hard to believe!
It happens so quickly, doesn't it?
Happy Birthday! I'd take cookies over cake any day too. Hope the weather cooperates so that the TX family can get in without any difficulties!
Thanks. They got here just fine. Our son drove hiw 4 wheel drive truck to pick them up at the bus station. They came prepared, with longies, hats, gloves, scarves etc.
Happy birthday, Gracia. I left you a birthday greeting on your FB site, & then Addy and I got to commenting back and forth on it!
I think that a person isn't old until they feel it in their minds and hearts. I don't include physically, because people of any age can have serious pain and health problems. Having said that... enjoy being your youthful self as long as you feel like it. Love you!
Thanks. Love you too. It sounds like Addy and her new friend are serious.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! Sorry I'm a little late.
Happy birthday,Gracia !
you still are in full youth and very active
love
Michel
Thanks. I am blessed that I am in good health.
Hope your birthday was as beautiful as you!
Thank you for the compliment.
Dear Gracia, you are just passing the "maybe someday I'll get old stage:!!!! Like you, I don't plan to get old yet. Hope you have a great party on Sunday and the weather moderates so everyone can come and enjoy!!
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
Hugs and smiles, Char
Weather is still bad, but TX kids made it here OK. Sending hugs back to you.
We December babies are special!! Aren't we lucky to be born in the same month thatJesus was born. How is your Rochester son enduring the freezing weather?
Hi.......Rochester son went skiing today. He's used to cold, but is kind of lonesome. Missing family and former fiancee.
