This involved a lot of thought. Then I had a great idea, my baby is turning eighteen next Wednesday. The years have gone by so quickly; to me, one moment she was a sweet little baby and now she is a mature, intellegent young lady. So therefore ‘POOF’ has gone the time. I really wish that the time had not passed so quickly.

It was birthday yesterday and I had one of the loveliest days. Jessica woke me with a ‘Happy Birthday’. My grandchildren, Suzy and Adam rang me on the way to work and sang me ‘Happy Birthday’….how special, I giggled all the way to work. Then went I got to school even one I came across gave me best wishes. All the classes that came to the library sang me ‘Happy Birthday’. I think that I had a grin from ear to ear all day. I came home to lots of emails. Graham had arranged a set of trick gifts before his real one, it was just fun. Then last night my beautiful Suzy had arranged a special family dinner at our favourite Thai place. It was one of those magic days.

No I won’t tell you how old I am? When the kids ask at school I always say 105, the little ones accept that, I have been saying that since I was in my twenties.
