Happy Birthday!

This morning I woke up to 15 degree weather! Brrrrrrrr! Forty-three years ago it was icy and sleeting. I rolled over and said to my husband, "boy, I wish the birthday fairy would bring me Duncan Donuts coffee" and about an hour later after he surprised me with a delicious steaming cup! He's so sweet.

This was taken 40 years ago! Yes, I had the Captain Kangaroo haircut!!!!

Today! Lines around my eyes, lines and grooves in my cheeks.....at least they're laugh lines and I hope they always will be!

What makes this day really special is that it's not only my birthday but also my dad's birthday! We always celebrate together. I remember one year, my Gram made a two layered round birthday cake for us when I was about 5 years old. Half of it was decorated with little plastic ballerinas and pink frosting and the other half was decorated with little plastic cowboys and blue frosting. I turned the cake so that I had the cowboys and he had the ballerinas! I wanted nothing to do with them!
This picture was taken in June on Father's Day. My dad always says I was the best birthday present he ever got but then he adds that I've been the most expensive too! LOL!

Dad went and bought a cake for us. I brought him a cherry pie.....his favorite!

I think my dad looks pretty good for being 79 years young! By the way, he's standing on his tip-toes in this picture. :-) What a nice birthday we had!
