What a wonderful surprise

My sons gave me a surprise 80th birthday party Saturday. I was completely surprised and overwhelmed. They pulled out all the stops and there were people there I haven't seen in a long time. All the family and cousins, friends from when my sons were little and some since before they were born. Lots of food, presents and they even sang!  I am so blessed.

Good news - I made it to my golden years. Bad news - there is no gold.




Be kind to one another.

Happy Birthday Brenda. Sounds like a fun party. My saying for the golden years is the medical profession gets all the gold.

Oh, my goodness!! I wish I would have known that you turned 80! I guess I didn't put it on your bday card 'cause you don't look or act 80, lol! But, how wonderful that your sons surprised you with a party! You should be celebrated because you are such a dear sweet lady!! What a treat for you and how fun!!
