~How did I get to be this old.......or, Happy Birthday to me~

On the way home from Nundle we stopped off at the Central Coast where I had organized a family get-together to celebrate my upcoming birthday......

My Sister Brigita had organized this little gluten free cake for me

I look at the number and can't believe what I see.......where did the years go???

I don't feel this old......still can't say the number LOL although I have been saying I'm 30 again!!!

Here is JoJo with my brother.......he had organized the singer at the Ettalong Bowling Club to sing 'Happy Birthday' to me.......not the Happy Birthday that you sing for a cake but the song......how lovely was this I thought!!!

No sooner had I sat down when Brigita put sparkly blue feathers around my neck and Mr Armchair bought me a blue cocktail!!!

I caught up with my nearly new Great Nephew Luke

and a new little Great Nephew Connor

This is the not gluten free cake

Family shot here from back Brother Charlie, me, Great Niece Emily, Brigita, Sister Linda and my Mum

Here Brigita is holding Great Niece Grace as well

I lover this photo as it shows us 4 together with Mum

I had to put this one in.......Brigita's ring that my Mother's Friend made

it is yellow gold with a 2 centre bits representing the Friend and my Father (as they set sail during WW2 for a better life)......the gold then goes off 2 separate ways representing these 2 mates......

Such a shame my Dad is no longer here with us to see this

so I will include a pic of him here anyway....

Last night Mr Armchair took me and JoJo out for a pre birthday dinner......I'll be back about this

and today I plan to do absolutely 

N O T H I N G

well, perhaps just the essentials and care for JoJo

I did read the other day that I should be grateful as I get older as a lot of people don't make it this far

how true are these words......

so I'm back again with that blue cocktail to wish you all a   C H E E RS   from me to you

and have a great day

Love Dzintra xoxo
