Happy Birthday to me!

I was awakened this morning by soft strains of the Birthday Song....guess who.   Yep,  a messenger from Mr. David's Personal Special Occasion Singing Greetings.     I also received  a similar wish, in a female voice, sung over the phone by Rochester friend, Barb.     When I finally got out of bed and went into the kitchen I found a beautiful Orchid and two very perfect cards.    How did I get so lucky?

Jesse snuck out very early this morning to buy his mother this lovely orchid.   He knows that I'm fairly sensitive to getting Birthday presents wrapped in Christmas paper....a carry over from my childhood birthdays so near to the red and green holiday.....The flower lady was very agreeable to removing any trace of Christmas ornamentation from this particular orchid and even dug around in her supplies for some non-holidayish lavender tissue  paper to surround it.   Do I sound like a spoiled brat?    Do I have a wonderful son?  

I spent my day doing exactly as I please, in other words, a regular day for me....How did I get so lucky.
We all took a nice walk down the beach, ate lunch outside watching the sea birds and the crashing waves, took a little snooze, worked on the shell puzzle on the coffee table, had cocktails at sunset and went to a favorite french restaurant for a stellar dinner.   How did I get so lucky?
