My Birthday

Wow, I had a very fun birthday. Everyone at work gave me fun stuff. I got champagne, a 96 box of Crayola crayons, which I LOVE. , a dragonfly pin, socks, a squishy light up thing, a cake, a Godiva drink, candy, more candy, a Pepsi, lottery tickets, a journal, lots of hugs, a book, more candy, (wish Brock was here), a tee shirt, and cramps. It was fun. Except for the cramps. Today I am meeting a friend at Chili's for a birthday lunch, then her and her boyfriend are taking me somewhere i have no idea. I can't wait to see. I was treated to Fazoli's last night by my sister in law and niece. YUM. It's good to be Fifty. I also got a bunch of cool Mary Englebriet stuff from my sister Barb. Thanks Sis. Joey sent me a very, very funny story about if there was a surprise party, using all our old neighbors and teachers. I was laughing so much I cried. She is so creative. Molly and Brock called me. Brock said "Come here gramma, I miss you" of course I started to cry. I am saving up money to go there. When I don't know. But I'm goin. So anyway, my 50th Birthday was great. Except that Bob was away, and the cramps.....Thanks to everyone who sent me wishes and ecards and love. Gail
