That was my bus number from first grade all the way through my senior year in high school, but it's also how old I am today. The number bothered me a bit when I turned 60, but now I hope that I'm becoming older and wiser with each birthday. (I'm trying!)

John and the kids have asked me what I want for my birthday, but I really do have almost everything I need and want. I haven't even started knitting with my Mother's Day yarn yet and I've got plenty of books to read and listen to. I hope Ryan and Justin will call or text, and my only other wish is to head to UDel creamery tonight for some delicious birthday ice cream. I am content with much of my life, and very grateful for all that I have.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! For my 64th my musical family sang me "When I'm sixty-four" in four part harmony...it was the best gift ever! I hope you have a wonderful day and a wonderful year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie! I've had that song running through my head this morning, and your family's rendition of it sounds perfect!

DeleteHappy, Happy birthday. May this year be everything you want it to be... and a little bit more. Oh, and the UDel Creamery use to sell yarn in blue and gold... just saying
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! There was no blue and gold yarn at the UDel creamery last night (in fact, no yarn at all). I'm sorry I didn't visit a few years ago!

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I am a day late! But my wishes are true and I hope that you had a wonderful 64th birthday that included all that you hoped for! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am late but Happy Belated Birthday. I think as we get older we get to celebrate for a birthday month. Isn't it nice to be content with life. Here is to another trip around the sun, filled with family and all the things you love.
