Thanks For The Birthday Wishes!!

 
Bella and I want to thank you all for the warm birthday wishes.  I appreciate them very much!
 
(Bella - not so much on the headband)
 
Anyway, thanks again.  I had a wonderful birthday; however, it wasn't as planned.  For the last several years, I have vowed that on my 70th birthday, I was going skydiving.  Now, I have done pair sailing, zip lining, etc., so this was about the last drastic thing on my list.
 
But, John - who never tells me I can't do something - quietly ask me if I would reconsider the skydiving bit.  He was just worried about me getting hurt.  So, I said OK, I won't.
 
But, I will some day!!
 
My Grandchildren and Greats made me the sweetest gift.  Brittany, who has Laynee and the twin girls, is living with Tiffany for the time being so she is close to me and so Tiffany and I can help with the girls.
 
They made me the cutest thing.  It was a 3' x 3' canvas with a saying on it and they did their handprints.  The twins did their footprints in the middle.
 
 
So, I am sure I will treasure it forever.  I told them that I loved it more than anything they could have bought me.
 
It was so sweet, but I'm sure that it was the last line that was the real truth!  LOL (Kids, just kidding)
 
Enjoy!
 
Judy

  2. Judy, That is a great gift. I am so glad you enjoyed your birthday. I thought about my bucket list today. I probably will never skydive now, nor surf. I have been able to do some fun things in my life. blessings, xoxo,Susie

  3. Happy birthday, Judy! What a perfect gift from your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You are much braver than I am - I would never go sky-diving, nor bungee jumping or anything like that. I'd probably do the zip-lining if I ever got a chance though.

  7. No, you didn't do your dare devil bit yesterday. But you saw ants on the table in a restaurant that weren't there and were smashing them. And then you sat in John's desk chair and leaned over and fell and got a lot of boo-boos. (I must add that Judy had a bad (BAD) reaction to some medication. She does not drink.)

  22. Sorry for the late Birthday Wishes. I was without a computer while my data from my old computer was being transferred to my new one.

    It sounds like you had a great birthday.
