Don't misunderstand there was a time that I wanted all the "stuff". Last year gave me a clear understanding of HELL and we aint talkin Michigan. I have kind of lost my thrill for crowded resturants, etc.. and my birthday weekend is the same as Sweetest Day here which means everything is crowded. We will likely hit the cider mill the weekend before, we normally do and I love it!

Bel...you don't have to celebrate the very night of your birthday
Wait and do your fun stuff this weekend. But do something fun...okay...life's too short and all that.
BTW, while you sappy lot are going on and on about how virtuous it is to appreciate life's simple pleasures, I'd rather have expensive gifts lavished on me....Give me a luxurious hotel room on a beach in Jamaica, complete with hot and cold running Cabana Boys...LOL!

Oh well Bel-isn't that an eyeopener (and a hobnailed boot in the pants)

It's true, the simple things do make you happy.

As I got older home and family became more important than parties and gifts
It happens.

Yes they are! But, my birthday is on a Monday...that is a school night for Pam. Granted she is old enough to be on her own for a few hours but I don't like to leave her alone at night.

Thanks again to you and Carl
for all you've done. It may be your patriotic duty and all, but you are admirable people who deserve our gratitude and appreciation for things you've given up on our behalf. What you've given is life itself, and it's because of you and people like you that the rest of us have the luxury of living in a democracy and whine about the government. :)

Bel, I'm so glad that's what you finally have--your family safe and together. Because of what you have gone through, you appreciate that in a way that you never would have if it had always been true.
