Woo Hoo!

I had the most wonderful birthday yesterday! When I first got up, I checked my email and read all the greetings from the MANY sites I belong to...and even received some gifts of page kits! It was so cool! I also received some fun phone calls, emails and ecards from my family and friends. To my sister, Darlene, and one of my very "bestest" friends, Debra.....yeah, I know, I'm a year older than you now!! You just had to rub it in, didn't you!!! ROFLMBO Just remember it won't last long! Ha Ha Ha!

Then Patti took me to a Thai restaurant that I've been wanting to go to since it opened a little over a year ago. Oh my, oh my! It was absolutely wonderful. I had the golden bowl which comes in a clay pot over a burner and has shrimp, chicken, and scallops with veggies in just a fantastic sauce. Patti had duck with veggies and cashews. We both just loved our choices. Then there was the Thai iced tea that I really, really like. Of course since there is a lot of real cream in it it is definitely not diet! LOL I have had Thai food many times but this was a first for Patti. We had just the sweetest waitress and there were some really nice women at the table across from us celebrating one of their birthdays, too. We had a very nice conversation. The restaurant is well decorated and quite beautiful. From the outside it looks quite small but there are three rooms and a truly beautiful bar area with lots of dark wood. Here's a picture of me and Patti that our waitress took for us:

I couldn't resist this elephant! There were two; on either side of the door.



We took other pictures, but I'll share them when they are scrapped. Actually, I might just make a kit from the ones of the decor. We'll see! It's funny, everywhere I go I see scrapbooking possibilities!!

After lunch we went to Pat Catan's for scrapbooking goodies. I tried to make it through the scrapbooking department without having to sit down, but that didn't work. Boo Hoo. I had to sit a few times and felt pretty rough when we left. I get so frustrated. I really wish they had scooters like Walmart, Target and Joann Etc. does. My mind says "go" but my body says "whoa, there!" After that, we went to Patti's house and waited for her hubby and my friend, David, to come home from work so I could say, "Hi" to him, then she brought me home. On the way we stopped at the store so I could get milk and bread. Like a silly fool, I went in. By the time I got home, I was spent. It was a good thing my wheelchair was down in the lobby or I'm not sure I would have been able to get upstairs to my apartment. I was in a lot of pain and ended up spending the whole night playing on the computer because I couldn't get my body to relax enough to lay down.

When it got to be morning, God showed me this beautiful sunrise:



I took this picture off of my 5th floor balcony. It was so incredible. I sat and watched it for a while then, finally, went to bed at about 8 o'clock this morning.

Well, that was my birthday! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend and I'll be back soon with a new freebie for you!

Blessings,
