| Thank you all for the birthday wishes, yes, it was quite a celebration!! I
hardly know where to start to describe it, but somehow this morning, I
feel older....do I merit more naps now?Of course the
celebration started with our "girls only" Mt Hermon trip, inclusive of
the beautiful Pacific Ocean...ahhh, it was a delight! Then we had the
GET scheduled for Wed evening for Hawaiian Meal with our family, but
due to a bus breakdown, we only had 3 out of 5 on the team here, so
added a couple of my sisters to fill the table. As I was preparing for
the evening, my doorbell rang about 3:00. I opened the door to a
flower delivery man who gave me a beautiful vase of 10 tulips. Wow,
they were so springy, who could have sent them? The card read "Happy
50th Birthday" Love, Mom & Dad Hoblit. How special is that? They,
being in Florida
had a little help from Heidi to arrange it all, but I was very pleased
to have a lovely centerpiece for my table of company. The evening
included gifts & cards.....Lorna gave me a bag full of 50 items,
very creative! Kris gave me 2 pair of soft footsie slippers! Sheryl
Boone sent a gift cert for a pedicure...very nice! Heidi & Brandon
gave me a cert to Fleur De Lis......50.00 to highlight the birthday
#.....fun, fun!!!Holly
had made me an elegant handmade black & white card on Tuesday aftn
and could not wait to give it to me, so I rec'd her card Tues
evening...very well done with lots of love!Back to Wed evening,
Holly had made brownies so they added 5 candles and sang "Happy
Birthday" to me....this just keeps going & going, so you'll know
why I feel rather tired now that I'm 50!!!  So, bummer, I
have to work Thurs on my birthday...so as I'm getting ready, I hear a
"ding" from my cell phone...and here @ 7:15 I get a "Happy Birthday"
text from my dear son-in-law....1st wish of the day....what a
sweetie!!! The day continues with a special card from my husband, a
call from my son, Rudy. Then @ work, I rec'd a voice message from my
brother-in-law, Phil Bowling (who had a birthday 2 days before mine).
Then the bank brought in this huge Mylar balloon & cupcakes. They
spared revealing the #, so I appreciated that, but got lots of "Happy
Birthday's" from my customers all day long.........THEN about 3:45, I
look up to see this huge mass of color coming through the bank doors
carried by Phil Bowling and a parade of people following, Beth, Amy,
Heidi & Kris.....Oh, no, they are really gonna embarrass me!!!!
They brought a 50 balloon bouquet, very colorful with a Mylar atop that
revealed my secret....the #50. Wow...after pictures and some
explanation, they left me in a sea of balloons! Heidi said, "You
mentioned this last night"! I did? How so? Beth was thanking me for
the one, little Mylar balloon I dropped by their house Tues evening for
Phil's birthday acting like that was such a wonderful thing.....how
could they top that when I randomly said, "You could get me 50
balloons!" I never once thought about it again till Heidi reminded me
of the comment! Course Amy & Beth had to return after work to
haul the huge bouquet home for me....so we called their families to
come eat leftover Hawaiian Meal and more Banana Splits. I rec'd many
lovely cards from special friends and even had a live birthday song
from Ohio on my phone messages Thurs from Dwaine & Shirley Bowman. Also a voice message from my mom as they are in Texas
right now. So many special things from so many special people! And
then an e-mail from Calvin & Deb....I am soooooooooo blessed!
Thank you! I feel officially 50 now!!! Also, I have a co-worker who makes cakes for each birthday and she has promised me a German
Chocolate cake from scratch on Monday...whoa...I am starting to feel overwhelmed and life must soon get back to "normal"!Yes,
spring is here in all it's glory and I love this time of year! The
sights, smells and balmy, warm days are such a welcome. Looking
forward to some walks in the almond orchards soon...maybe today after
Lorna, Sheryl & I go out for lunch!!
          I knew I would forget something, after all I'm 50 now....when I pulled in the garage from our Mt Hermon weekend, my husband had a shiny bicycle (just a 2 wheeled) with a "Happy Birthday" tag on it! I really am blessed! Thank you, Jesus!! | | |
