And a one, an' a two...
Happy Birthday To You! (Meaning me!)
The phone rang this morning and I could hear whispering after I picked it up. "Do it now... it's HER!"
Then I heard Mack, a very confident and authoritative conductor, "And a one, an' a two..." and Addison chiming in on queue as they sang Happy Birthday to me!
Big bonus is that I'll see them later for a birthday party, though the on-again, off-again "surprise" is off again. Which is fine by me; there's cake either way.
I'm not altogether certain that this was taken on my birthday, but it's me and I appear to be pleased with a few new things.
(Please to note the amazing, pom-pommed handknit slippers.)
(I would kill to have that Hi-Fi right now.)
So I'm 52! That's just crazy, man.
*H*A*P*P*Y* *B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y* !
Have a fabulous day, whatever surprises come your way.

Happy Birthday, Vicki!!! How sweet that the boys called you to wish you a happy birthday----that's better than a surprise party in my book!!!!

Happy Birthday, Vicki! You are too young to have 3 grown up daughters.

Happy Birthday! I really enjoy your blog.
52 is great, but 53? 53 is prime! Hope you have a great 53rd year.

Happy Birthday Vicki!
I had a pair of those slippers, in variegated Phentex I think. Made my hair stand on end when I slid across the carpet. Good times.
Enjoy your day.

Happy Birthday, dear Vicki! (I'm sure you won't be surprised when I tell you this. . . but I had those exact slippers, too! Many pairs, in fact.) Hope you have a wonderful day -- full of all the things you like best. :-) (And I'll join you at 52 in a couple of months. It's a great place to be!)

Happy Birthday! You're just a young thing, my dear. I had those same slippers too. Maybe we should all knit a pair in honor of our 50's!
