☺☺☺ It was a Wonderful Party ☺☺☺

Friday night my daughter Denise hosted a wonderful 62nd birthday party for me... It was a small party with family and a few friends which was fine with me. They had originally wanted to go out to eat but I said I just wanted something quiet & casual.

She cooked a lovely dinner:

Appetizers ~Baked Brie with apicot jam on top, assorted cheeses & fruits & bruchetta

Baked Ziti

Itialian Salad

Yummy bread

and of course a birthday cake

I got some really great gifts. My honey got me the Kindle3 (after all my looking at them ☺) and the first book I downloaded was Julia Childs "My Life in Paris". After the movie I just had to read it since I never realized she was such an interesting & fun women with a great sence of humor. I also want to read the book by writer Julie Powell "524 recipes in 365 days". Also my daughter bought me another charm for the Pandora bracelet she had given me at Christmas. It is a beautiful cameo Aquarius sign dangle charm... and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Also the cutest little Miss Froggi for out front of Tassie from my brother & SIL. Then several bottles of Captain Morgan Rum from friends (what are they saying???).

Thank goodness there wasn't 62 candles....LOL

Lots of wine Bevy, My honey Ralph & SIL Kathy

After dinner the girls & kids all went int the family room to play Wii's Just Dance2 and what fun we had... It is a very good workout!!! The guys all sat around the table trying to solve all the worlds problems... they adventually joined us but not to dance just to watch & maybe laugh. After dancing we decided a few games of bowling would be fun too~~~ before we knew it it was 12:30... YIKES we have to get up early because we are heading over to Orlando to Universal. We are going into Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and dinner Saturday night at Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville~~~YUMMO!

☺☺☺ Happy Birthday to me ☺☺☺

Today is my 62nd birthday and I finally will get Social Security... Not much but maybe enough to pay for the diesel & gas on our adventures.... What's up with the fuel cost anyways? Don't they know us Baby Boomers are out trying to enjoy life!

It's going to be a fun filled weekend celebration starting tonight with a party at my daughters house.... Friends & Family will gather to sing praise of me making it to the "BIG 62" She is making one of my favorite dinners Baked Ziti with a nice Italian salad, a lot little of vino and of course a Birthday Cake!



I will be staying overnight there and we will leave early in the morning to Universal Islands of Adventure in Orlando... returning Sunday. We have annual passes for there and use them alot. It is suppost to be a lot cooler so at least we won't be roasting while walking the park and riding the rides. Too cool for the water rides.

Should be a great weekend!!!

~~~ I give in ~~~

Ok... I think I am finally going to give in and admit that maybe the E-Readers are the way to go. I love to read and often re-read some of my favorites. I have given away so many of my books and then when I want to re-read one it is gone! There is just not enough room in Tassie to store a bunch of books. I have in my mind that I need a book to hold onto and turn the pages for me to be happy BUT I could be wrong...

Now the question is which one do I want?

Please if you have one or know someone who has one ... let me know what you think of them and which one would you buy. They can be pretty pricey (which I don't mind if it is a good one) and I don't want to choose wrong.

Thanks for your HELP!!!

Have Fun, Travel Safe & Stay Healthy!!!
