Celebrating My 81st Birthday
My 81st birthday is almost over. The morning was spent at church since the choir sang at both the early and second services; and there was the annual Easter breakfast in between services. Later on I stopped at First Wok for one of the $4.19 luncheon specials (mushroom chicken a little on the spicy side) and for 69 cents more had the hot sour soup. I think it’s the best in town. I made my own hot sour soup ONCE, and once was enough…never again!!! Then spent the afternoon watching the “Watchathon” free “On Demand” special running this week. I chose to watch the first year series of “Downton Abbey”. Wondering how they’ll handle the story now that Matthew Crawley was killed off???
Here’s the picture my friend took in my kitchen Saturday before we went out to lunch to celebrate our March birthdays. Daughter Andrea had sent me the flowers….for Easter and my birthday too. All in all, I had a nice birthday even though the family couldn’t be with me. And another gift was the lovely sunny weather Saturday and again Sunday afternoon. My miniature daffodils are coming up and some have little blooms already.

Well, you clearly rocked 81! Happy, Happy Birthday!
xxxooo
Glad you had a Happy Birthday and a very good Easter!
Glad you had a nice birthday/Easter, and I understand at least some of your family will be celebrating with you next weekend. The weather was good here too.
You look magnificent! Hope your day was happy…
I’m glad that you enjoyed a pleasant birthday. Those flowers are lovely.
It sounds like a wonderfully happy birthday!
What a pretty & cheerful bouquet and balloon. That was a nice thing for your daughter to do. Sounds like you had a nice Easter celebration too.
Um, it was at the end of the 3rd year series of “Downton Abbey” where Matthew was killed off. I’m a longtiem fan of the show, and he was my favorite character, so I was upset when it happened. The 4th year series begins in January 2014 in the USA and in Sept. 2013 in the UK. I’m looking forward to it.
Hope you are rested up after all that fun – because I’m planning on having some more fun This next weekend!!
@SandraErickson - @Iamsurrounded - @Crystalinne - @ata_grandma - @slmret - Thanks to all of you for the good wishes. I had a lovely day, and your greetings and wishes make it lovely today too!
Happy Birthday! Looking at this picture makes me think I had better find out what you’ve been doing to look this good at 81! I wouldn’t have guessed any age even close to that.
@armnatmom - Thanks for making this 81 year old lady feel good….takes me a lot longer to look presentable now than it did twenty years ago! Thanks for the rose mini too!
@SandraErickson - Forgot to thank you for the birthday cake mini! Thanks….the only cake I had this year with any candles on it….81 would be difficult to light!
@tracy - Thanks! That is sweet of you to say….but I have LOTS of wrinkles that don’t show in photos…and don’t look so good naked, ha. I did get the “good hair” genes that some women in our family have had…never going completely gray or white even in their eighties.
Happy Birthday from a 79 year old much younger attractive man. Hope you have a nice day.

@jkhsquonk - Thanks for the visit. I’ve watched all three years of the episodes….more than once since my hearing is getting worse, and the English accents don’t help either! I just decided during Xfinity’s free week (aka “Watchathon”)On Demand…of series that aren’t free, I’d watch them all over again. It’s amazing how much I missed or forgot of the first year’s episodes! I’ve never watched soap operas but am thoroughly hooked on this series!
@HUMOR_ME_NOW - Love that reply, Frank! I’ve always been attracted to handsome younger men! I guess the term nowadays for a woman like that is a “cougar”……grrrrr!
Happy, happy:)
@Gma_Joyce - lol!!! I am very complimented that such an attractive lady would growl.
Have a very nice week,
frank
You are on TOP BLOGS! Woot!!
@murisopsis - What the heck is “Top Blogs”? BTW, looking forward to your visit and retail therapy, etc.
Top blogs is the front page of Xanga – you were 3rd!
@murisopsis - Wow!
Belated happy birthday! At 81? That is something to be truly thankful about. I may not reach to that age. I am only 60, but still sporty, though.
