Today is my birthday!!!!
I have wonderful memories of the 4th while we were stationed at Tyndall AFB in Panama City FL. I joined a community concert band while we were there, and we played a concert every 4th. I can still hear all the wonderful music - love those military marches!
I'm having a quiet day at home today. My brother and his wife, who headed back to Guilin, China today, sent me a beautiful jade necklace, and DS2 and his wife gave me an Ipod! Now I have to figure out how to load some music onto it!!!!
DH and I are heading out for dinner tonight - nothing special, but I don't have to cook. When our boys were small, I always had to bake myself a birthday cake!
I got all the basic quilting finished on the Dolly X-block quilt, and did the hand sewing of the binding last night. Now I get to add some of the "fun" quilting!!!
Happy birthday, Susan! :) I hope you had a lovely dinner out. I know what you mean about birthday cakes. I finally rebelled and refused to bake my own, which meant I didn't have one unless my DMIL made one for me. LOL!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Susan. The fourth was always special to me too since my birthday was yesterday. But, we were always at Grandma's and Grandpa's at the lake for the holiday and went to the parade and watched the fireworks over the lake fired from the roof of the Palladiam. Then I'd go to sleep on the screened porch listening to the music from the roller rink clear across the lake. Good memories.
ReplyDeleteWhen growing up, my family had a cabin cruiser, and my birthday was usually spent on the boat. We cruised the Trent Canal system in Ontario, with trips to Georgian Bay on Lake Huron most summers. I usually had a birthday barbecue!
DeleteHappy Birthday Susan! Hope you had a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteEvery day is wonderful, but the 4th was extra special. Both my sons called to wish me a happy birthday too!
DeleteWell, Happy Birthday :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes.....
