Trying to hide turning 60 years old is like trying to hide an elephant in your living room. You might as well just acknowledge it is there. When you have wonderful friends, they make every day special - - - which means a birthday is EXTRA-special! One of the gifts they gave me was opening the church library early so my husband and I could get there at our leisure. They even brought refreshments! See the cards in the basket? More and more were added as the morning went on. Most were from our church's administrative assistants (more of my wonderful friends) and some of our library patrons.
My husband was in on the surprise. He even made sure I had a birthday cake - - - - baked by his coworker. She even stopped by our church to deliver it on the way to her church. That is super sweet. Don't you love the balloon candles?
These are my precious friends and just a few of our library coworkers. See my sweet husband?!!!
The best surprise was yet to come. Our younger daughter and her husband drove an hour from their home to meet us at church. Then we all celebrated with our older daughter at Outback! Being with our children is one of the best gifts we can receive!!! It has been a wonderful, wonderful day!
