A happy birthday

On Dec. 6, my first birthday surprise arrived.

Flowers from John, known as Johnny when he was a young boy.

John has brought me flowers since he was a 3-year-old.

He is my flower child.

On my special day, Dec. 9, in the early morning, I received a special pair of socks.

I love the gift of socks and their message.

The Birthday #95 party

Every year I say “no party” and every year it happens. It is time I stop saying “no party” and just enjoy the love.

Headmaster Viateur (pink shirt) led the happy birthday song.

Music Director Emmanuel played “Happy Birthday” on our newly acquired saxophone. He learned to play it for this occasion. I was honored.

The farm boys brought a gift. Lots of eggs.

Other gifts came in a big box.

The peace basket plaque is beautiful, and the nativity is very special to me.

Top of the cake. Love the roses.

Cake, sparklers, and joy.

A toast. Salute to the beginning of Year # 96.
