I have not made up my mind about what I want for my birthday dinner. Either homemade macaroni and cheese, or meatloaf with mashed potatoes. I am also wrestling with what sort of dessert I will feed myself and the men to honor me on my special day. Either an apple pie with ice cream, or a chocolate cake layered with pudding, whipped topping, and Heath bar bits.
I know at least two of the presents that I will get--the CD Dreamboat Annie by Heart and a lavender-scented diffuser with a nice pottery bottle--because I picked them out myself. A package from my sister sits waiting to be opened, and there are some cards, too.
The first birthday I remember celebrating was when I was 3 years old. My mom and dad got me a child-sized fishing pole that came in a metal tube.
This enabled me to go fishing with my father.
I remember turning 16 and 21, but the rest of them are sort of a blur. I think I will no doubt remember turning 60 because of its association with our family's recent bereavement. But, I have made the decision that this will be happy day, and so it will.

Have a happy day with happy memories LL - one week before my birthday. Here we have a Postal strike, so am not sure whether all my birthday treats will arrive on time. Enjoy yours and fill your heart and your home with all the happy things - best wishes and many happy returns.
Hello LL
Thanks for popping in recently it was lovely to see you - also for you nice comments.
Its funny how birthdays mean many things to many people - like you I can only remember a few of mine. However the one that gave me most grief was my 60th - I was annoyed at all the fuss surrounding it but look at the lovely happy casual photos of family and wonder why I felt that way lol
Anyway I do hope you enjoy this week and all the fuss you make over yourself lol - I'm sure they will come to the party (sorry pun) and celebrate the special day with you:))
Happy Birthday to you!!
Take care
Cathy
