Thank you everyone for great wishes and I had a good day of greeting, cards, posts, messages, calls, a lot of attention.
Including a call from Gary wishing me a happy, and reporting on Mike the Artist Contractor whose ancient van broke down finally at the end of the street. Full court press of neighbors pushed it home. On ice.
Then a call from Mike the AC, wishing me, and reporting on the same thing! He didn't say anything about my car having left so recently now that he needs another ASAP, and I was nice and didn't either.
Amazing the life that pours in on me while I'm sitting peacefully on the sofa reading about one of Henry Eight's six wives. And playing games on the advent calendar.
Vital report: 8" of snow fell here.
I'm hoping to get a birthday service gift Wednesday, when handsome Son is off work -- errands. To be exact, food to the food pantry, then packages to the PO. Then home for cake and tea.
My life is just one giddy whirl of frivolity and pleasure. Level One.
Happy day everyone, frivol, and dance in the kitchen.
Sez Ted and Big Ursy, too
Belated happy birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of life pouring in while you're sitting on the settee.
It really does!
DeleteBelated birthday wishes. I’m off to the kitchen to frivol and dance and pour a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteGood, that's an approved activity.
DeleteYou are in a very joyful mood. 👍
ReplyDeleteConsidering I'm well, no aches, no pain, I oughta be!
DeleteIt sounds like a lovely day! And the celebrating isn’t done!
ReplyDeleteNo end in sight.
DeleteSo glad you are cozy and comfortable while the world is snowy outside, and whirling along with cars and vans.
ReplyDeleteI'm very lucky.
DeleteTo me your life sounds downright buzzing with activity!
ReplyDeleteIt is. For a person who lives alone it's amazing how many interupted meals I have.
DeleteYou deserve a time of giddy frivolity! So glad you enjoyed your special day.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely. Like most days but better.
DeleteCar woes are fine, when they're someone else's!
ReplyDeleteYes, I handled it pretty well, really.
DeleteHahahahaha!
DeleteI am looking at a day of taking care of things like banking and insurance blah, blah, blah. And if I have the time, to begin filling out a novel-length form for us to get started with creating a trust in case we are not immortal. Silly thought! Names and birth dates of all children and their spouses and grandchildren and many more things I will not know the answers to.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the refrigerator repairman is coming. SO much fun.
What's the advantage of a trust over a will? Is it to avoid probate?
DeleteYes. You got it.
DeleteI shall endeavor to frivol:)
ReplyDeleteYesterday it was 6C and everything was melting. -18C last night, everything froze. -5C today. The weather is giving me whiplash.
Glad you had a nice day and the happy days continue for you!
ReplyDeleteMy day is done for now. A trip to Eugene and home is enough for one day. Have a grand evening.
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful evening, Nicole, you've got something to deal with.
DeleteJust wanted to thank you for the well wishes for my eyes. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteDancing in the caravan kitchen is an exercise in care and restraint. Dance in the rain perhaps.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Eight inches of snow and no car to dig out sounds like a nice birthday gift to me. ;)
