Today was a very good day! Our weather was soooo nice, with a high of 57 degrees! We always have Bible Study on Fridays...and am always nervous about the weather. (Especially since I live on a hill..I never know if they can make it to my house!) But today was perfect!! Normally, as we study the word, we'll have some sort of treats! Well, today Sandi surprised me with a birthday cake! Even had candles on it!!
It has been many years since I've had to blow out candles!! Ha! Ha! But I got them all with one breath! Guess my lung exercises are helping...smile... (And I'm very thankful that she didn't put one for every year on it!!) I'd probably still be blowing out candles.. hee..hee!
Pastor said she wanted to take this picture! And that my shirt even matched!!
Sandi...the same lady got me this cardinal globe for Christmas! It is so beautiful. She lost her husband a few months after Tom passed. So when we spot a cardinal out my window (at my feeder) it reminds us of our lost ones...
Isn't it pretty??
Speaking of birds, she said she heard a robin when she came in! Oh boy, will they be sorry! Today was gorgeous, but by Sunday we are to have up to 6" of snow with 45 mph winds...uggg However, it is January!! And it is normally a winter day on my birthday! (That was always one of the reasons I could never have kids over for a birthday party...) But....finally when I turned 17..my girlfriends came and we had a sleepover! We fixed homemade pizza...and had pop (which was a very big treat!) We all crashed on the living room floor...while my very good looking 19 year old brother was asleep in the next room on the couch!! Oh, such simpler times..
Bye for now...pray is all well with you...

The globe is beautiful and so are you! Loved that your shirt matched your cake!
It’s wonderful that you host a Bible study every week. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in one.
Dear Gert,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
What a lovely group of friends you have. That cake is something special. You look beautiful . . . wonderful smile. I remember it well.
Have a very happy celebration. Hope the weather is kind!

What a nice surprise to get a birthday cake from your bible study group...AND that you could blow out all the candles at one go. You look wonderful, Gert. I am happy that you seem to be doing so well- I know it has been a difficult time for you since Tom passed. It is nice to see your smile. xo Diana
