Yes... today is my birthday.... I like having a birthday in the middle of June.... right smack in the middle of the year.... 6 months since Christmas, 6 months to go.... Even though it is in winter time, I still enjoy sharing my happy day with family and friends... Over the years I have had some memorable days. My 15th birthday was interesting... I had invited 4 friends over for a sleepover. We lived way out in the country on a farm (in Otago) at the time and it was a bit inclement weather so in the end only one friend came. It was just starting to snow lightly when we picked her up around 7.30pm.... well come morning there was 6 foot of snow and we couldn't get out for 4 days... For my 28th birthday ( which was 7 weeks after our first baby was stillborn) my darling hubby had organised a surprise dinner for me.... but at rugby on the day of the dinner he broke his jaw and we ended up at the Emergency dept of the hospital. I was still in my causal clothes on the way home and he stopped at the restaurant... and there were all our friends all dressed up.... And a few years ago to celebrate being 50 and having been married for 30 years he organised a party ~ albeit 9 months after the 50th!!!!!!
This year we had a lovely family dinner on Sunday night and tonight my wonderful friends, Yvonne and Michael, have invited us around to their place for a meal.And I've just spoken with my daughter too.
Here's a selection of the birthday cards I received. Thank you everyone.

All beautifully handmade. I really appreciate them. Each one is so special.
Hope you have all had a great day... I have...
Take care
