I don't mind getting a year older when I can have such a birthday full of blessings and surprises all day! 
I was greeted with "Happy Birthday" and students decorated the white board in the class. One student asked,"When are you over the hill?" I quickly responded," I think now you just begin over the hill at seventy." I don't know if I convinced him.
I wondered what AH was searching for on the internet when he was hiding the screen from me. I am glad I trusted this student. It didn't ruin this surprise he created on the painting program.
Next from the same computer I was hearing the Beatles sing a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday straight off YouTube. The class joined in on a second chorus. I loved that they chose The Beatles!!
This lovely indoor lavender plant from JEJ was waiting when I arrived home. It was just one of many more surprises today. 
Our friend GH treated JEJ and I to dinner at a yummy Mexican restaurant to end a wonderful birthday. The messages, phone calls, wishes and surprises made this a day I won't forget very soon. Thanks family, friends, and students.
P.S. Thursday the prompt for Sunday Scribblings was "date". This post is about a perfect date! To read other Sunday Scribblings here.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteSide note:When I use to ask my three year old (now five) how old he was. He would hold up five fingers and say proudly "seven!" Then I would ask him how old is Mommy? "Older then dirt!" he would reply equally as proud.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou had some special Birthday wishes. I love how "kids these days" give a Birthday wish - YouTube and Paint.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, it sounds like it was a great one.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I'm sure the student believed that one starts over the hill at 70! Nice post...

Too often we remember the bad days. This post is like sunshine!
ReplyDeleteYour students are so sweet! And it sounds like you had a fabulous birthday.
ReplyDeleteLiza: I love it when Sunday Scribblings works that way!
ReplyDeletethanks for your warm thoughts redness.
becca: I was... a very special day.
colleen: cake, but no candles, but perfect for S. Scribblings.
Thanks Marmite: Actually I think I was overdue. I believe I was supposed to be born even closer to RP's birthday. You can guess my mom had her hands full. When we were younger people often thought we were twins.
what a wonderful day you had and your description brought out the smile you must have had all day...great post!
