It's a Birthday Party online!!!

 Good day---  I hope that you are having a great day-- In have had the best day ever--because it is my Birthday and to-day I am 81 yrs young---

"Well ", you might say--," of course she is having the best day ever--It's her Birthday!"-----but-----The kids have all called--   which is nice--- Son #4 was out and helped Himself and I get our tree to light--We could not get the middle part of the tree lit--but---Son #4--pulled the tree around and in 2 shakes of a Lamb's Tail (Mom's expression)- he said, "Here it is--a cord yu hadn't plugged in--"--- 

 So, on my Birthday, all I wanted was a tree---- up------  because  both Himself and I are very old and you never know when that last Christmas might be-- -- LOL----  No presents-----yet---- and maybe  never-- but----  THE TREE IS UP___

How is that jollo guy going to come if we don't have a tree???-----So---  I made it happen----and now it feels like Christmas--Sometimes one must just DO stuff---  Do you find that?---  Just begin to do what needs to be done and most times, Himself will join in--It just didn't seem like Christmas , if our home had no decorations--  so---  I just took the "Bull by the Horns"--Well, you know--(Mom said that also-)

I am finding that even on my Birthday,. even if you are now 81, life is good!-Always just do the best you can, no matter what others think,  and usually life turns out for the best--for you-

I never ever remember a  Christmas without a tree---When we were young,  there were mostly mittens under the tree--  knit by Mom--I do remember one year getting new winter boots- and taking them to bed with me, as I loved them so much!---I believe Christmas is full of memories--good memories--

Anyway---We have had rain and snow fall to-day----I hope that you all are enjoying your day--I have been playing Xmas Carols on the piano--and I even sing to them--Lopez and Beau fall asleep when ever I play the piano--

Thank you for being here--  it really feels like a blessing , when I share my day with you all--

--Now--get out and do something special--  This day only comes once you know----

--Lots to think about in life isn't there?

---------I always think  the above  is quite funny--           - -I  hope it puts a smile on your face to-day---

--I am probably not going to get either of the above-- That is OK--------It is Christmas---  and---  we have a tree----and-- we are alive----and --here we are together----  Lord love a Duck! What more could we ever ask for???
