    Thank you all so much :D

    Wow I'm tired! Smalls haven't been in bed long :o

    We had a truly wonderful day. We had a 'picnic' dinner, played cards and charades it was hilarious.

    I feel so lucky.

    Thank you all again

    Thank you

    If I don't feel brave enough to travel then the money will go into the 'bed fund' still going to something for myself that I need.

    This has been the best birthday ever. It seems like such a 'child' thing to say but I feel so happy and like we had real relaxed fun.

    Thank you again to everyone
