I hope this will be seen by all my DG friends that wished me well on my special day...
First,
I would like to thank all of the wonderful people who sent me Birthday wishes from Dave’s or posted them on a thread here...
You will never know how deeply it touched my heart and made me feel very special. My small family was amazed that people I had never met in person would care enough to send their warm wishes.

Secondly, I was so pleased and touched that the African Violet forum became a reality ...on my birthday, no less. I really didn't think the forum would make it because we are such a small group, but I was pleasantly surprised when I found all the new threads posted on my return.

Lastly, I wanted to share a part of my birthday with all of those folks who know me here, so...

My darling beloved husband and 2 adult children took me to dinner on Sunday.
It was a nice meal and we were to return home to have the cake and open presents. lol
They surprised me by taking a small detour to a nice hotel SUITE that was decorated with my cake, balloons and vases flowers. Not just a vase or two BUT 7 large vases filled with roses and wild flowers!!
It was a wonderful surprise and the evening was so nice. I got to relax in peace and quiet with my husband.
I did miss Capt Jack our African Gray and the rest of the ZooCrew singing Happy Birthday to me though…lol

My daughter (who knows me best) gave me 4 bags of potting soil she purchased her self and she dragged into the garden. My son gave me a beautiful crystal vase for the flowers I grow... my darling husband gave me the one you see in the pics below... it is the Cadillac of bicycles and now we can enjoy an evening ride together.:) I was so excited..now I gotta learn how to ride it..lol
The next pic is of our small family...

Again, I hope you enjoy this thread, the pics, and the story
I thank you each for you computer friendships because friendships can not be bought, borrowed or stolen…
they are a gift of the heart.

Blessings to all,
MsCritterkeeper/Lottie Jean
