Half a century...sounds like a long time...doesn't it?! Well, that's my age as of yesterday! Lucky for me, my daughter planned a surprise party with all my favorites: family, friends, and food!! (: Fifty candles floating in the pool is much friendlier than 50 candles on a cake! Spaced out like that, there doesn't seem to be sooo many! And, no, I could NOT blow them all out. The party took place, of course, in the great outdoors around the pool. I was pleasantly surprised by the collection of old friends and new ones, too. We all enjoyed our time socializing and talking about days gone by until my daughter summoned us inside to watch "The DVD of My Fifty Years." What a wonderful gift..from birth to present day...so many precious memories of the people and activities that have made me who I am today!
Many have asked about how it feels to be fifty. Well, it feels GREAT!! The way I look at it, the more years we are blessed with, the more friends and family we have to enhance our lives. Isn't that what life's all about anyway? It feels great to be the nifty fifty!!

Wow! Happy late birthday! Sounds like you had a really great time. I like the idea that your daughter made a DVD of your life. I would like to do that for my dad this year. He will be 70! Fifty is young! I am glad that you have a positive attitude. I have a brother that turned 40 today!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! Your passion for life is wonderful. It's exciting to see how you love other living things and desire to nurture and care for them. Looking at your pictures on your blog makes me think about all the animals that are being effected by the oil spill. Although my heart goes out to them, I can only imagine the pain and grief you may be feeling right now being an animal lover.
