What a busy couple of days it has been around here. Tuesday was my birthday, so the children had me up early opening presents. I also got a cuppa in bed with chocolates for breakfast, a good birthday breakfast I think...I worked until 1p.m then my best friend Bronwyn came and took me out to lunch and for a pedicure.........Heaven........All in all a good day yet at the same time such a sad lonely day....Greg loved birthdays and he loved to spoil me, he would always buy me the most expensive but useless b/day presents, one year I really wanted a worm farm and instead I got a beautiful ring...Guess what I missed this year....yep another ring or wine glasses or something else that I didn't need...What I am finding is the things that used to annoy me are the very things I miss......go figure....I am glad that mine was the first b/day without Greg and not one of the children..That would have been to hard on them.
Alanah, Chloe and Damion cooked tea for me...fettuccine, they did a lovely job...Chloe made a caramel mud cake for me. See the number candles yep it says 32 ha ha they thought that was funny........hmmmmm what was I doing 12 years ago, I was pregnant with baby No 6.....Yes well enough said about that.
The tomatoes are looking well, so far the wind hasn't damaged them...Yesterday we had 2 hail storms within an hour of each other thankfully the tomatoes weren't damaged.

I'm a Scorpio but I can relate.
ReplyDeleteI have recently read your last year's birthday, not sure why I was on that page, good to see the girls are still in good form with the cooking etc.
Sounds like an interesting cake.
Happy belated birthday .......it's refreshing

their Mom. It sounds like you enjoyed
your day, even though bittersweet.

ReplyDeleteHey Mandy
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! (belated)
Looks like your day was flat out and good fun. Who could say no to a pedicure! Lovely that the girls cooked tea and the cake for you too. Spoiled rotten!
The garden areas look great - all ready for planning and planting.
We've had nearly 2 inches of rain since Monday - I can't remember it being so wet for years and its cold too - 14C yesterday. Brrr! Oh, to be in Qld...
Cheers - Joolz
Happy Birthday, Mandy! Sorry the wishes are so late, but they did have to come all the way from Texas, USA after all. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping the coming year is filled with blessings for you and yours.

Happy Day! Great kids there. I've been thinking about how much you miss the things about Greg that were the most annoying. God teaches us through opposites, indeed!
