Best Birthday Ever!

I had the best birthday ever—thanks to all of y’all! I woke up, to find one of the sweetest birthday cards from Tony—it actually made me cry, when I read what Tony wrote to me—I love him so much! After tearing up, I fed our six dogs and cat, then I checked my e-mail and was shocked!

I was overwhelmed when I saw that I had received over a hundred e’s from friends wishing me a happy birthday, and only seventeen of them were spams, who didn’t know, I guess! I was on cloud nine—even though I was now officially fifty-seven years old! Then the phone calls started coming in from friends and family wishing me a happy birthday, and some even sang happy birthday to me, before nine o’clock! I felt the love and loved it!

When Tony brought the mail in, after lunch, I had so many birthday cards, the bills didn’t even bother me. I was feeling the power of love! Each card that I opened and read, made me grateful for all of the friends that I have—I am so blessed.

Later in the afternoon, I checked my e-mail, again and fell out of my chair laughing, when I read the e-card that Debora and Little Jewford sent to me! It was absolutely hilarious and on target! The card started out showing peace symbols and two-fingered peace signs, followed by those hippie flower-power flowers from the 60’s, with the words Have A Happy Hippie Birthday, and We Hope It’s A Groovy One! Tony and I laughed our heads off as I continued to replay it! And, yes I was definitely having a groovy birthday!

And, Fay’s note with the picture of a VW Bus next to a candle, still has me laughing—even though the VW Bus, that I wanted, had already been sold in Austin!

Kinky called to wish me a happy birthday, too! “Happy Birthday Nance—enjoy it, because it only gets worse. Trust me.” Then he invited me over for a visit and a game of pool. I enjoyed our visit, but not the game of pool—I lost as usual.

At one o’clock, my dear friends, Drew and Renee, and Cindy P. showed up for my birthday party! And, Renee baked one of her famous chocolate birthday cakes for me—which was so delicious! She has promised to give me her secret family recipe, and little does she know, it will automatically become Cousin Nancy’s Super Chocolate Cake recipe, as soon as I get it! And, I will post it, too!

My three hour birthday party was a blast in Outer Space! We laughed so much! I had the best birthday ever and I want to thank all of y’all, once again—for making it great!

Today has been pretty quiet. We had a few visitors come out, but no adoptions, unfortunately. And this evening, Tony saved a squirrel in despair! Mr. Ziffle and his sister, Biscuit—had treed a squirrel in their pen! Tony had to go outside, leash the two giant dogs, so the squirrel could escape from their pen!

P.S. ‘All You Need Is Love’ by the Beatles is playing on my iPod right now! How true. Love Is All You Need! ‘We love you all, yeah, yeah!’ ‘Everyone Deserves Music, Sweet Music’ has just started playing! I’ve got to go dance! Peace and Love! Have a great Sunday!
