I love my birthday. I have never been able to understand people who decide to quit celebrating. As they say, getting a year older sure beats the alternative! May is such a great month - our anniversary, Mother's Day, all those great spring blooms, warmer days, my birthday, the first long weekend of summer - what's not to like.
I don't need a big celebration - just best wishes from family and friends and a nice dinner or boat ride or day in the garden. I'm pretty easy to please - but I'm ecstatic that this is MY day.
We're going to a fun little cafe for lunch - they have a limited menu with daily specials and there is usually a quiche or salad that catches my eye. It's raining again today, so I'll probably read this afternoon - no gardening for sure. And tonight we have a couple good movies to choose from. It sounds perfect.
Hope you all have a lovely day too.

Hey, happy birthday! Hope it's a lovely day for you. With many blooms ahead.
Have a wonderful day today, Kris! I'm with you, I LOVE birthdays:) Today is my son's birthday, too.
Enjoy "your" day!
Thanks Kitt - "with many blooms ahead" is a perfect b'day wish for me!!

Happy Birthday!!! I can easily tell that we are SO related!!! Keep it simple!!!
Can't wait to see you Sunday!!!
Thanks Patti - can't wait to see you Sunday too! Hope you guys have a really great anniversary!! Love you.
Happy Birthday, Kris!
I have a friend who just LOVES her b.day, too.
I am one of those on the opposite end. I make no big deal at all. In fact, DH and I rarely buy gifts any more. I can't remember the last time I had a birthday cake. Geez, I guess I am quite the party pooper!
It sounds like you have much more fun!! I am so glad you are enjoying your big day.
Happy Birthday Kris!!! We hope that you had a great day, and that you do what you want to do all day.
Thanks Zoey and Laurie & Chris! I have had a perfectly lovely day.
Zoey, we quit buying each other gifts too - although I always justify an impulse "must have" purchase with "well, it could be for my birthday..." I'll have to live to be 200 to get all those buys accounted for!! But I have to admit, I am just tickled pink that it's my b'day - and I want everyone to know it!
(With respect to my mom, I am not posting my age - she thinks it makes her sound too old! I feel the same way about my kids turning another year older.) :)
Happy Birthday to you, Kris!
It's my birthday, too. How about that.
Peter! Happy, happy birthday!!!! I have this incredible talent for remembering people's birthdays - especially if I can associate them with something else. So I will always think of you on the 24th from now on. You can count on getting a birthday comment from me as long as you have a blog!
Hope you are having a great day!
Happy Birthday!!!! Have a great time...birthdays are always special days for us...enjoy your special days!!!!!
