Getting older......

Everybody gets older day by day - on some days we feel older, on other days happiness or excitement makes us feel younger. The date in our passport is just a number - still it counts. Once a year we remember the day of our birth. 

For the longest time of my life our family gathered for every birthday. Once I was responsible for serving the guests, I felt punished. Birthdays should be fun - and not extra work. Three years ago I started not to be at home on my birthday to have a relaxing day.

Well, this year I couldn't go away as there was an appointment with our daughter and with endless phone calls I didn't even find time to play my harp. Well - next year I will make better plans to get away again!


 At least I got a wonderful surprise as my husband got a very nice sticker made for our car. I better drive carefully now - this car might be remembered easily. 

From my Dad I got a huge box full of spring flowers: prime roses, daffodils and tulips. Even retired he's still a gardener at heart.
