Hey Gang, thanks for all the help getting me up to 200 Followers by my birthday tomorrow! It's been so fun to come here and meet my new friends.
I am so excited and hopeful about tomorrow! I did what women have been doing for years in order to have a fun birthday party. I set it up myself. I asked my two clueless sons and their talented ladies to come cook me a nice dinner at our home.
Today I got a call from Sassy Bride asking about my favorite cake and then when I hung up and left the room I heard Hubs get a call from her. Rocker Son's girlfriend messaged me on Facebook that she is so excited to cook for me and has tons of ideas! So my plan is working! Yay!
Today Hubs wondered aloud how the day will be with two strong young women working in our kitchen together. Writer Son's Bride and Rocker Son's Girlfriend have only met once, when we all had New Year's Eve dinner together. It was fun and easy, they all seemed to hit it off wonderfully, we left the two young couples talking in the restaurant parking lot as we drove home. So even though they are both strong young ladies I have no doubt they will have fun doing our special dinner in my kitchen.
As Hubs and I chatted about the girls he continued on the same theme. He reminded me that there is a very popular belief that many young people marry someone who is like their parent of that sex. We were walking into a food store while we had this conversation and I stopped and said, "But I am not a strong woman!". He literally laughed at me as we continued into the store.
It is a beautiful thing to be loved by someone who sees you in a much better light than you see yourself.

ReplyDeleteYou're probably close to partying about now. So Happy Birthday, again. I think the "two strong women" will put on an awesome display for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd if your wings get any stronger, you'll likely be singing:
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles fly on a mountain high
Birthday blessings
I love to see kids grow into responsible young adults! Sounds like a great plan, even if you had to help with it
