Found this card in my Family Archives (read 'Old Stuff'). My mom had given it to my dad on his 64th birthday! Life Goes On!


(Thanks to Gary Lund for the artwork on this card, published by Lyric Art Productions.)

Well, life goes on. So because we have deemed it necessary to keep track of time, we count our birthdays, and thus a day which is basically a celebration of our arrival on earth, becomes all about how old we are getting to be. But as my dad always said, look at the alternative. I have now celebrated yet another year on the planet, and am fortunate to have family and friends who celebrate it with me.
Starting off with a 7 AM arrival at Market Days, and a gift of a Lavender Cowgirl Hat, continuing on with the arrival there of friends who Actually Sang Happy Birthday to me (I am so lucky to be loved by you!) Evening Festivities included dinner at the Redbud Cafe, surrounded by Ones I Love, eating, drinking, and listening to some great musicians. And yes, once again having Happy Birthday dedicated to me, this time played by the band. One has to put aside the embarrasment in this situation and 'feel the love' because after all, people wouldn't sing to you in public if they didn't love ya! So thanks to all ya'll for loving me and being In My Life. And serving Cheesecake with a candle in it. Ob La Da!
