| Making a wish with Lily and Hedi |
I had a simply wonderful Diamond birthday yesterday. You can see me here making a wish as I celebrated with my friends. I'm wearing the new vest that Lily gave me, and a beautiful red rose from Hedi. We enjoyed a strawberry cake that was filled with everything but calories, according to Lily (I didn't believe her but enjoyed it no matter how many calories). Notice I am NOT wearing my glass because my new eye allows me to see incredibly well without modifying the old eye. Oh Joy!

| John's cranberry and my chocolate and coconut almond ice cream |
My friend John took me to Mallard's Ice Cream Shoppe on a rainy and cold day for me to enjoy a double scoop of the best ice cream in the world. By the time I finished it, I vowed never to eat ice cream again for awhile, feeling more than a little full. But it tasted so good while it was going down.
I received other gifts and many best wishes for the day on Facebook, but these will do for now. What a great thing to have such wonderful friends and family for my Diamond Jubilee birthday! And now I'm sharing it with my other dear friends, my virtual community. Here's a picture of me and SG taken last evening.

Now that is how to celebrate!! So happy you had such a great day and I am delighted with the fact that you don't need your glasses. Can you imagine how marvelous your vision will be after they do the other one?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, there is a cranberry ice cream? That would lure me over to the dark side.
Happy, happy birthday my dear friend! I second Lily's assertion that there were no calories - they simply cease to exist on special days for special people.
