The Birthday Girl


Guess who is celebrating today?  
Let's have some music....listen HERE!
I love music and LOVED dancing when I
was younger.  About the only dancing I 
to do now is around my kitchen by myself.  lol! 
 
It's a gorgeous day and I have had my beautiful
family with me the last few days here in Branson
MO.  My son had the ice cream cake above waiting
 when we stopped by the hotel he was staying
in the first night.  He had work here and will be
here the next few days with us.  Our daughter and
her fella came down on Friday night for the weekend.


This was my birthday card from my sweet and beautiful
daughter.  I am so blessed to have such wonderful 
children...yes, I am!  And a great hubby, too! 


This is the scene that greeted me when I opened the 
bedroom door at the condo this morning.  My wonderful son
stayed up late and decorated after BG and I had turned 
in for the night.  


And while I sat on the deck enjoying the beautiful weather,
my son fixed breakfast for us.  Awesome!  


After eating, I enjoyed looking through the magazines
he bought for me.  What a relaxing day and I've 
thoroughly enjoyed being spoiled!  We will be going
out for dinner later.  There are so many places we love to
go, that it will be hard to choose. 

Spring has arrived here and the redbuds and other 
spring trees are blooming.  It's just beautiful and the 
weather is wonderful.  I think I might have mentioned 
the weather a few times already, but it IS just so perfect!
It's such a beautiful day to celebrate 
a birthday in Branson!  I am so blessed and thank God 
for all my 70 years and for my precious 
family that loves me.  I love each of them so much!

I am thankful, too, for all my blogging friends. 
I will keep comments open, but feel free to skip on
out without commenting as I haven't had time to do
a lot of visiting and commenting lately myself.
We'll be here a few more days and I'll catch up with
everyone when I get back home.  Take care and 
have a great week!

  10. Happy Birthday, dear lady! Your family is fantastic...what a great celebration. They adore you. I love reading the birthday cards I get, sometimes my kids find it easier to put things in writing and the cards are keepsakes.

    70 years young...love it!

  14. Happy birthday C! Love your party and the magazine gift as they have gotten so expensive I hardly buy them.

    Funny your in Branson, I spent time tonight searching for an RV park there. We have a wedding to attend at Big Cedar Lodge, rooms are expensive there, besides take the camper and we can stay longer.

    Enjoy the beautiful weather.
