Thankful Thursday!

I spend my birthday with my oldest friend Marja (we are friends for over 45 years!) , Ruud, my husband and ..................Mr B!!!!!

This picture is one of the many gifts Marja gave me. The words on the back made me cry.......

 

My brother collected me from the train after my flight from Calgary.

 We went for lunch with our Mom

 Oops.....self timer disaster.......

Me and my Mom (86 years )

My husband came later that afternoon and brought me loads of presents!

From a dear friend from RI ;) ♥ Lo spoiled me as well.

But the best gift is her friendship

 In the afternoon we went to France. 

 A Chinese patio in the South of France was waiting for me

 A promise for the next day............... :)

 please................

 I woke up with this view

 I know the cookies came from this trolley..............

 I am a good doggy..................

 In the picture..........

 In Nimes we found this poster

 And we found the Casa Blanca

 Enlarge to see my age :)

 The 23th Sting will perform in Nimes.......... Too bad I can't be there :(

Well I saw the arena ;)

 Marja, the perfect hostess as ever! She made a delicious fried rice and satay. My favorite;)

See the shirt Robin? I told you it would look gorgeous on her.

 On the patio

 35 degrees............... (95 Fahrenheit)

 Unforgettable sunset.

 Palmtree reflection in the rosé wine

 My sweet guy.............

We have a lift off..........

I had a wonderful birthday!

And all of you made it that special. 

I had lots of birthday wishes here on my blog and on Facebook. 

I was spoiled rotten in France and by my loved ones.

And when I came home more presents were waiting for me from RI and SF!!!!!!

(Thanks a million dear sisters!)

All together made my birthday something unforgettable.

Have been busy preparing for a party I will have Saturday. Bought all the groceries and tomorrow I will spend in the kitchen. Monday I will be back spending more time online.

For now thank you all for all your special wishes and gifts and for making me feel special instead of just old :)
