One thing about Facebook and social media is that I miss friends calling on my birthday--now they just drop Facebook notes which isn't the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855238890646923488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-3302648214712248882015-04-28T11:46:39.160-07:002015-04-28T11:46:39.160-07:00Sounds great, Kristin!

Maybe when I turn 60?<br /><br />Your niece's party reminds me (watch out, old memories coming forward) of my son's 6th birthday when we had a yard full of kids, miniature tables and chairs, and games... The big wooden clown fell on one of the little girls. Fortunately she was more shaken than hurt, and had dirt up her nose. Yep, those were the days.Magdalena Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674381212999247449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-2315233195724186062015-04-28T11:42:14.551-07:002015-04-28T11:42:14.551-07:00Yes, Karen, sometimes weekends are the same as wee...Yes, Karen, sometimes weekends are the same as weekdays around here too.

Included a bounce house and slide and a magician.

I used to work M-F so weekends seem like a time that I should have off... unfortunately sometimes I get behind in my deadlines and use them, but I try not to... and I definitely would not for the Kentucky Derby!!Karen Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621736343432643472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-25799918677508896782015-04-28T08:41:10.632-07:002015-04-28T08:41:10.632-07:00Your quiet celebrations sound lovely, Helen.

I've bought flowers for myself a few times, but since Attila became part of the family, and flowers have to be on top of the fridge to keep them (and him) safe, I have pictures of flowers instead. <br /><br />Maybe that's part of why I enjoy your garden photos so much!Magdalena Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674381212999247449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-12412694682008796652015-04-28T08:35:42.054-07:002015-04-28T08:35:42.054-07:00I love receiving flowers for my birthday, only I u...I love receiving flowers for my birthday, only I usually have to buy them for myself! Our birthday celebrations usually involve a meal with the family and sometimes a day out.

Theme parties were fun when my son was little too. We had a great bakery (which of course you're aware of) that made gorgeous cakes to order.

Really enjoyed doing kids' parties for my children when they were young-with lots of fun themes (like Hawaii or Dinosaurs!). Still look forward to-and enjoy/appreciate-my own special day each year, too. :) Have a fun Kentucky Derby Day! Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13000830378253624843noreply@blogger.com
