Birthday Rich

My grandmother used to say over and over again that she was the richest woman in the world. She was a farmer's wife who wore polyester dresses, and thick stockings. "I'm richer than the Queen of England," she'd retort!
"Why, grandma?"
"Because I'm rich with children and grandchildren." It was love that made her life rich, and this year for my birthday I have felt so rich! Thank you to everyone who sent me cards, e-mails, took me out, bought me coffee, and celebrated with me. I have felt so blessed this year by the the people in my life who care for me.

Saturday night, we celebrated my birthday at Macaroni Grill. We had arranged for only twelve people. I was delighted when nearly 20 showed up! They had to move us out to the patio.

The guys got into a juicy conversation.
