I am celebrating my birthday that was yesterday…today.
This was delivered to me at work today!
Too cute and delicious.
Pineapple, melons, grapes
and chocolate covered strawberries!
Of course, the strawberries were the first to go.
I also had other things on my desk;
a box from a wonderful bakery filled with
brownies, honey nut cranberry shortbread and
carrot cake cupcakes, a monogrammed bag, a change purse,
and gift cards for a donut shop and a gourmet olive oil
shop that also has gourmet pasta and other goodies.
The day before my birthday I was surprised with a flower pot and
homemade oatmeal cranberry bread pudding.
I have the best friends and I celebrate every one of them!

We share birthdays…so God danced the day you were born too.
We have the same birthday? I was born on my aunt’s birthday. I was smart from the get go.
It sounds like your co-workers love you a lot. Happy Belated Birthday, Patricia!
Thanks, Carol. The co-workers did spoil me!
Happy Belated birthday!
Thank you!
What nice friends you have. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
Thanks, Nancy. It was a fun day at work.
Happy, happy birthday, Patricia.I do love the fruit bouquets. Not only pleasing to the eye, but tasty too.
Wonder to have caring friends. ❤ ❤ 🙂
The bouquet was good and now all gone. It was a delightful gift.
That bouquet made out of fruit pieces is amazing and so healthy (well maybe not chocolate covered strawberries – but it was your birthday!!) – what a wonderful gift 🙂 Many happy returns and certainly something to “Celebrate”! Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
Well, the chocolate was dark chocolate…the heart healthy stuff.
Happy Birthday!! It sounds like your friends there have made sure there were plenty of good treats to help you celebrate! I love birthdays, they are our own special day, even if it means another candle on the cake! Aging is the natural way of life and we shall do it as gracefully as we can! I wish you many blessings and some delightful surprises in the year ahead! Xoxo, Josie
Thank you, Josie. I think of birthdays as personal new year when your very own year begins.
Happy, happy birthday. My wish for you is that all that you wish for comes true. Hugs, my friend.
Thanks, Annie. 🙂
