Thanks for the birthday wishes.I like having birthdays. I just pasted the 4 year mark since I was diagnosed with cancer. I hope to make it 5 years.
My trip to Europe was the best ever. Everything went perfectly. The week we were on our own and the 2 1/2 weeks with Viking River Cruises. We met the Prince at my Godmother's castle in Germany. We exchanged photographs and stories. We loved everywhere we went. I loved seeing the Lippazaner horses at the Spanish riding school in Vienna. I loved all the churches and castles.
Last weekend I rode in a 1943 Faircloth open cockpit plane over the Chesapeake Bay. The Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC is our next adventure. Henry Ford and President Roosevelt stayed there. I want to ride horses on the Biltmore Estate and my DH his bike as well as tour the house. After that camping and Zip lining an Hanging rock state park.
In two weeks I am having a celebration of life party. I am doing this instead of a memorial after I am dead. This way I get to see all my friends.
After that we are going to Gettysburg.
Today I got to pet a two week old horse. She was so cute and friendly. Oh in a week I am feeding the Elephants at the Zoo. I am going through my bucket list.
I am having a great time. Life is good. I am glad to be off chemo.
Alex

Llama poop that turned into a surprise party? Perfect!
Hope Sunday's event was grand in every way. Don't forget to allow for a bit of rest now that you're older. LOL
I haven't been on as much lately due to moving, job stuff BUT Alex - you are a true inspiration. You have touched my heart and soul. I think of you often. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
My husband once did a surprise birthday on the guise of getting Llama poop for the garden. We went out to a friend's farm and all my friend's were there.
Alex
How did I miss this Oh, never mind; I already have the answer to that one.
Baby brother turned the big nickel on Saturday. We accomplished the truly impossible, and surprised him at home a week early. He planned to watch the Masters, & we (9 or 10 of us) showed up at his door and took him to Olive Garden instead.
How did I spend YOUR birthday? Doing HVAC work at the church, of course!
Blessings, young lady!
Shoot! So sorry I am late for your party, Alex! Glad u had a fun day and wishing you a bright, colorful year ahead...

Michelle

Thanks everyone I did have Boston Cream Pie via my husband. I love the ninja Basset stealing cake. Polly liked the Dalmatain pup. Now we just have to get through the Fundraiser party tomorrow. The car is packed with art work.

I'll be back over the weekend with some entertainment. Hope the party is still going strong when I get back here.
I had to step out and take a rest and come back to find this party is still rockin'. Who has the energy to go all weekend? It's a big birthday -perhaps one day is not enough!
Here's hoping today was wonderful, Alex, and we didn't wear you out too much.
Alex I´m so glad you liked the Icelandic version of the birthday song :) and that Laura did too :) .
I hope you have had a wonderful day Alex, surrounded by all your loved ones, humans and animals. My very best birthday wishes to you.
Birthday (((hugs))) to you,
Dagun
Oops, I'm late too. Here's a little turning 50 humour. SNL fans will remember this. :)
