It was so nice to come home last night to all of your kind birthdaywishes! Thank you SO much, dear bloggy friends!! It was a bright
ending to a very long day. Things were a little more difficult with
WT being out of the country and the hospital being several hours
away. But all is well and I am very happy to report that Youngest
Son is on the mend. Pam, you are right, this will always be
remembered as "The Gall Stone Birthday". And for all of those who
guessed, that was the Andrea Doria, which sank in 1956, not the
Titanic! And yes, I am now 52. I especially loved Cuban's comment
about 50 being the new 30 and I'm going to keep thinking those
good thoughts. There was a birthday package waiting on the Manor
doorstep when I got home last night from WT's parents. It contained,
among other things, a sweet vintage bisque Japanese boy and girl and
a beautiful Niloak pottery dish with a pelican. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Hello Lady Willow ! Excuse-me, but yesterday I had not understant that it was YOUR Birthday... Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI was born also in 1956... Smile Tou You...
I enjoy that "TOUT RENTRE DANS L'ORDRE CHEZ VOUS..."
You have cute photos...
See You later.
What lovely gifts!
ReplyDeleteI got it right! My clue was Grace Kelly in her wedding gown. I've always known that she was married in 1956. You were nearly four when I was born in June of 1960, so you're not too far ahead of me, Willow!
ReplyDeleteAh, what charming and delightful birthday gifts! I adore that pelican! Remember now, it's birthday week! You still have six more days to celebrate!
