…I can’t believe that I turned 70 yesterday
I don’t feel a day over 50, until I put out my back lifting a towel out of the laundry basket or wrenching my wrist trying to collapse some cardboard packing materials. That said, I’ve recovered relatively quickly and had a great day at my special birthday party in the garden yesterday. I’m always happiest when I’m surrounded by friends and family and 35 of them showed up.
The weather was absolutely beautiful, if not a tad too warm but when the shade came over the deck and patio, sitting outside was very comfortable. I was showered with love, cards, wine and flowers. There was lots of food and drink and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
For the rest of the week I’m spending time with my daughter and granddaughter before they return to New Brunswick and to get my birthday present from them I have to visit them in Moncton to use my gift ( a day at a Nordic Spa). I see a flight in the near future.
Thanks to my husband for my new patio furniture and thanks to Andrea for helping me put it together so that we could enjoy it at the party.












Happy 70th birthday for yesterday, Carol – so glad you enjoyed your special day! ❤

With any luck there should be more. Most of the women in my family lived to their late 80s and my Dad reached 94.

Those little mishaps can get you down but I remember feeling old when I turned 50 because of a few minor aches and pains. They all disappeared and I actually felt felt better at 60 than I did at 50. I’ve decided not to let these little setbacks affect my mood.
