HELLO, HELLO!!!

Hello, my family, and a happy Sunday!

Just got home from church, and wanted to let you know I sent happy prayers out to each of you.

Didn't get the opportunity to complete my project this weekend because yesterday was the hubby's birthday, and there's been "little" surprise celebrations going on non-stop (some of which I wasn't even aware had been planned).  We've had a wonderful time this weekend for his birthday!  His youngest brother came in from Decatur, IL, who we haven't seen in over a year; he'd gotten together with the next younger brother and planned a dinner party and it was so much fun -- I even danced!!!  Although the hubby "refers" -- key word -- to himself as Fred Astaire Jr., I am not nor claim to be a dancer but I do have such fun trying!  LOL!!!  Of course, my son had planned a small celebration too, so it's been a weekend of just having family fun!!!  I'm so thrilled for my honey and happy that he's called this the best birthday weekend he's ever had.  I guess I'd say the same if I got a heat/massage chair AND a new car for my birthday!!!   I guess I don't have to say, I can't wait until MY birthday now  -- and I really don't care for surprises!!!  LOL!  I even went so far as the drop a hint that I'd like the new Cricut machine for my birthday!  Heeee -heeee!

As with most retired couples, the hubby and I live comfortably managing to enjoy ourselves, our life, and to acquire most of the things we want through careful budgeting -- because we're nowhere near wealthy.

Well, when everyone would ask Len what he wanted for his birthday, he'd jokingly say he wanted a Mercedes Benz!  Of course, he really hadn't considered getting one, but a little here and a little there from everyone  made a wish come true!!!  I AM STILL ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED MYSELF!!!  Actually, he won't  have the car until April because, from what I understand, once ordered and getting here to the U.S, it must be then be assembled because it comes in parts.  I hope once April gets here, my honey's head isn't so far up in the clouds he won't hear me when I shout up at him -- or gets any bigger than it already is, LOL!!!  Now, wouldn't you drop hints too?!!!  The new Cricut isn't nearly as much as a new Mercedes!!!

As for my "wee" parting gift (I only bought the chair), I'm ending his birthday weekend by taking him out to dinner in just a bit, but before I left I wanted to drop in and, at least,say hello as I haven't been here since Friday!  Now you know why my jealous butt disappeared to this weekend!

I'll be seeing you!
