It has been a wonderful week!! And as you can see if you scroll down, it's not just a birthday, but a "birth week"!! My four kids from here and everywhere else over the country  made it  a really wonderful week. So, here is a collage of celebration!! Now just who but a blooming idiot would have this much fun in celebrating turning 78!! What can I say?? I'm obviously a blooming idiot -- but a very happy one! Wishing each of you a wonderful week!

Into the house where joy lives, happiness will gladly come.

    Wow … I would never have guessed you were of the age you celebrate. You are young at heart, that’s for sure!!! How wonderful it is that your entire clan is well and can gather for such a special occasion. They are fortunate to come from such excellent stock. Blooming good genes, indeed!

    This is really a beautiful collage. I have just experienced a bit of frustration with some contractors here, so your quote is helpful. I'll bet my bearings again and get a grip on the joy!

    Belated happy birthday to you, Sylvia! I've never thought that you are that age, you really think and look much much much younger. How fortunate I am to be a part of your world.

    The collage looks a condensation of your happy home. Stay cool, beautiful, and alive and kicking.

    Hi there - Happy Birthday!

    Nice montage of pictures.

    Thought that a few people may get a little green eyed over the whales - it was rather splendid. Even my car mad son has a picture on his wall!

    Have a good week! Stewart M
