birthday bash

We celebrated my 85th at church with beautiful flowers on the altar and I was thrilled to have daughter Mary and her husband Phil here from Wisconsin, and granddaughter Anna from St, Paul there to be part of the festivities. It was Rally Day which is the first Sunday of fall Church School and there was a lunch after church for which I had ordered a huge sheet cake that was decorated and said Happy 85th Birthday, Alice. I also directed the choir in the service because Linda had to be out of town so it was a busy day. I had Happy Birthday sung to me three times, once by the choir before church, once during the service and again at the dinner in Fellowship Hall. How cool is that! I think I have been properly launched into my 86h year. I hope everyone had a lovely week-end. Mine was certainly very special.
