I was simply too tired to blog after the hilarity that ensued after supper at Mary's last evening. My fellow seacow and extra sister Karen and I share a birthday, and Terry, Denise, Andy, Lisa and Paula had joined Mary and Mike to celebrate. It was such fun, easy camaraderie, and even though, or maybe because the conversation focused largely on farting, we all laughed so hard we could hardly talk. The younger gang still look forward to all the many ways their bodies will betray them as they get older, and that's how it should be. Thanks, all!
Today the celebration moved to Valens, a conservation area where we often went with kids and cousins when we were all younger. The kids all brought things for barbecue and the grandkids played and swam and ate. It was a glorious day, the weather was perfect and I received several notes and pictures that I treasure. This card from Paula sums up the day.
...and that's as it should be!
Thanks, all! Love, elly
As soon as I read your title I knew who sang it! Back in grade school, this boy sang it and I never forgot it. It's actually Tennesse Ernie Ford and the song is called 'sixteen tons'! Now it's stuck in my head. lol
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed your birth-weekend with some fabulous people. That is an awesome card too.
