IT'S MY BIRTHDAY

I had such a great birthday.  It started off with Joe making me his wonderful scrambled eggs for breakfast.  No one makes scrambled eggs as good as Joe does.  Oh my are they good!

Joe gave me six gift cards for my birthday.  They were to Dunkin' Donuts, Sonic, Wendy's, Cracker Barrel, and IHOP.  I have lots of free lunches coming my way.  Is he trying to fatten me up?  My friend, Debbie, gave me some placemats and the cutest calendars.  My friend, Marion, gave me a Snoopy and Woodstock birthday figure.  I put it on the table with my other Peanuts birthday stuff.

And my sister Elaine gave me a rice cooker.  It's so cool and I can't wait to use it.  I'm probably going to try it out this week.  She said once I use it I will never make rice in a pan again.

 I got some spider mums that look like peppermint candies.  So pretty.

We got some snow today.  At one point it was coming down hard and fast.  But then it turned to rain and most of it is gone now.

Tonight Joe and our friends Walt and Carole took me to the Country Club for dinner.  It was funny because when we got there my friend Donna was there having dinner with a friend of hers.  Almost every time we go there we see someone we know.  I had veal francaise for dinner.  It is one of my favorite meals.  So very good.  And I have left overs for later.  

After we ate they took us through this street that the whole block was decorated with lights and animated characters.  They really went all out and it was beyond fantastic.  Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me.  Joe and I are going to try to go back tomorrow and take pictures.  It's unbelievable.   

Then we came back to the house and had cupcakes for my birthday.  They were so cute.

 
Walt and Carole gave me a gift card to Dollar Tree (I can do loads with that!) and a butterfly balloon.

It has been a great birthday.  Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday greetings and good wishes.
