The day after...........

 

Since my birthday fell on a Saturday this year I think I need to consider today a continuation of my celebration.  Here is my second birthday bouquet, from grandchildren.  How heavenly to have flowers in 2 different rooms at the same time.






I took a photo of my cake with my cellphone before it was cut but forgot to get one with my regular camera until after sampling.  I shared with my family after my drive by parade of friends and family.  What a fun day!



The whole neighborhood knew I was having a birthday.







A few friends thought I needed some more chocolate....because we know we can never have too much chocolate.

Thank you to all of you who wished me a happy birthday yesterday.  I loved reading all of the comments, loved every one of them!

Another beautiful bouquet for a beautiful lady. It shows how much you are loved and cared for by your family. You look so happy standing with your large declaration, and that's the most I've seen of your house in one photo. Your cake looks delicious as I also prefer white sponge myself. I smiled when I zoomed in and saw the creator only just managed to get your name on it hehe.

Very nice for your birthday. I am a bit jealous of all that lovely DARK chocolate. It is my favorite.

DianeN said...

I think you should continue celebrating all week long. You mean so much to all of us, Wanda.

Good morning on the day after Wanda. From the look of it, you had a very enjoyable milestone birthday, and you look so happy standing by the sign declaring it to the world, as you should.
I spotted some Ghiradelli chocolate in your birthday stash of goodies and I'm sure you will really enjoy it, yummmmmmm! I had a lawn sign for my dad when he turned 100, and have a picture of him standing by it hanging in the house where I see it every day. You are a special lady Wanda, and I'm so happy you are still celebrating your special day. Hugs

Belated happy birthday, but frankly, I think you should celebrate all month. Mine was Friday, and that's my intention! Enjoy the month, and take every opportunity to celebrate that comes your way!

I'm late to the party. Happy birthday, Wanda!!!

Christine said...

And, another Happy Birthday, young lady! Always see the sunshine and celebrate.

Shelina said...

Happy birthday, Wanda! How wonderful that you were able to celebrate with flowers, cake, and even a parade. It's not every day that someone gets a parade!

Hannah said...

Happy belated birthday! Enjoy the chocolate!

Bonnie H said...

Happy Birthday, Wanda !! Chocolate is the perfect present !! Enjoy !

Gail said...

You're probably the only person I "know" who celebrates birthdays like me. I'm proud of my age and think it's important to let younger people know that at x age you can still be healthy and active. I never understood people who lie about their age or refuse to say how old they are. So happy birthday Internet friend. You look fantastic.

Sue said...

I guess I'm late to the party.
Happy Birthday Wanda!!!
May this will be a great year for you. You deserve many more!

Beth said...

Exactly what a birthday should be - something extra special. Happy, Happy Birthday.
I so enjoy your blog and all that you share.

Here is to many more :)

Michele said...

Happy, happy 80th Birthdat, Wanda. Such beautiful flowers! And cake! And banner! Whoopie!

Quiltdivajulie said...

OH! A drive by parade - how much fun!! I'm so glad that so many have helped make your birthday (week, weekend, etc.) so special. Many hugs, my friend.

BatikFanatic said...

I agree with the "why not keep the party going all week?" suggestions, since there are plenty of good reasons to celebrate. The flowers are beautiful, and I'm glad you have enough chocolate to last you until... Thanksgiving??

Tami Von Zalez said...

Happy belated Wanda. I am so glad you blog and post regularly. AND you are one of the few people to comment on my blog. I wish you all the best and many more posts in the future.

Lorie Kunstmann said...

88 birthday wishes yesterday and more today ! Your bouquet from grandchildren, birthday cake, and chocolates ... Drive by parade of friends too... It just doesn't get any better than that !

LOVED your photo with birthday banner, since we haven't seen each other in a few years it was a treat to see you again. And must say, you don't even look close to 80 .
