50 is Nifty

 

One week from today is my birthday.

It's a significant one.

And I'm celebrating it!

I've invited about 20 friends, past and present, to lunch with me at

The Byelorussian Baker at Asbury House,

in Higginsville, MO.

(Alas, she does not have a web site).

The RSVPs are slowly trickling in and I'm excited that

some of my oldest and dearest friends (whom I've known for 25 years or more!) are coming! 

As I was making my guest list I noticed a trend--

that the list read like a who's who of Strong Women in My Life. 

 I am getting more excited for them to meet each other

than I am for them to come and celebrate me. ha!

 

And you, dear readers, are invited too. 

To my virtual party on my blog.

I wish you all could meet each other too.

Some of you drink tea, some prefer coffee,

some of you love to "junk" or just love junk in general. ha!

All of you are creative and kind and generous.

And that is why I consider you my friends.

And celebrate you!

I am not measuring this milestone by the distance I've traveled,

but  by the friends I've met along the way.

 

Can I make a Birthday Girl request? 

My camera died today and I was hoping to post daily pictures

of things that had the number "50" on them.

Can you send me some?

I will post your photo(s) and link to your blog.

Thanks SO much!

The more photos I get, the longer my birthday will last.

 

((((Big hugs to you all!))))
