Turning 40.......Almost!

HAPPY SURPRISE 40TH BIRTHDAY PAM!!!

Imagine my surprise while visiting Ontario a couple weeks ago, to open a door and find all kinds of people in a house, ready to celebrate my birthday!
So kind, don't you think?
Of course, anyone who is actually paying attention to the details in my profile, my birthday isn't until the middle of October. Now normally I'm a pretty easy-going kind of person, so this would not be that much of a problem, but as can be seen from the number on the cake, this year's birthday is a biggie! I was very surprised and very touched that everyone would do this for me while I was home. The thinking was that I won't be home for my 40th....ughhhh....just saying the number is weird!.....so the woman who threw the party wanted to make sure that whenever I got home this year, I'd have one. And it worked! I now feel 40! I was feeling 25 before then, probably just ignoring the numbers, but everyone who came also contributed with birthday cards with that number on it, so now I am convinced I am 40! And I'm not even there yet!!!

Oh well, any excuse for a party! It was fantastic. People just kept walking through the door. I don't think I stopped smiling all night long! My sister Wendy was probably the happiest to see me. I had been home for a few days and this was the first she'd seen me that week. The next night I had her home to Mom's place for a sleepover! She was wild!

Some amazing fun was had, I can tell you that!

Blogging every six months

Last blogged Jan 21. That is almost seven months ago.
The previous pet peeve has been replaced at least a dozen times since then.
New pictures have been taken.
New thoughts have been... um ... thunk?? ... thought.

However.

No one can now say....."Ever consider blogging AGAIN???" "Do you know that you actually have a blog??"

Okay, the picture of the kids and I is a TAD blurry.
The woman who took the picture remarked on it, and true enough. There needs to be something better there.
So, if I can remember how to post a picture, so it shall appear. This was taken at my friend Holly's wedding. Her and Terry were remarkable. Probably more about that later.

More later, I suppose.
