Happy Birthday! So glad that you are having a great celebration. I am also happy to hear that you are feeling better than this time last year - a true win!!
Happy (belated) birthday, @mrs-b! I have been away from PS for a few days so I am late chiming in, but it sounds like you had a wonderfully fun and relaxing day, as well you should! And may I say that your verandah is absolutely gorgeous!! I love your post and all of the gratitude you expressed, and my fervent wish is that the coming year will be your best and most rewarding one yet, full of everything you love most!! Cheers and birthday hugs to you, and may the celebration continue!!
Belated thanks for your very kind birthday wishes! Today I don't feel more than a single year older than I did on Saturday!
...which is not as bad as it sounds, frankly; I've definitely had days when I've woken up feeling 90! it was a wonderful weekend and a great time was had by all.
And here's a few photos of my birthday flowers. What a lucky woman I am!
