Usually my birthdays come and go and I don't do anything "special".  Chuck always asks if  I want to go out to dinner.  Sometimes, I do and sometimes I don't. The high light of my day would be waiting to hear from my children.   This year I thought it would be different.  As we get older, who knows how many more birthdays there will be to celebrate.  Sooooooo, ........I asked my two very best friends in the whole wide world, Gene and Melanie if they could come up to spend a couple of days at Brambly Pines for my birthday.  I knew there would be tea parties,shopping,  lunches out, wonderful dinners, lots of " sharing our hearts" and lots of laughter.  I was so right!!!  Along with all of that....they brought LOTS of presents!!!!  A birthday couldn't be any better than that!  I didn't mind one bit that I was turning another year older.  They made it fun!  I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends that are like " sisters" to me.   " #66 was one of the BEST!"
