My Pre-Birth-Day....

Gone are the days that I received flowers such as this......
*cough...cough... *



and this...*ahem..ahemmmm..*

how happy a lady can get...
though the flowery years have gone by..
more is coming on the way
not flowers, not diamond rings
I do not need all that..
I have beautiful wonderful friends..
who love me just the same I am
and I love them just the way they are..

Simple I am
Complicated I am not
My heart is deeply touched
For your kind generous thought..



my sweet and gentle friend..Elin
Thank You for this raspberry butter cake
no words can describe
how much it meant to me...


I am so happy...
joyful and gay...
family I have...
friends at bay...


Though I am not 25
Thank you once again...
For making feel like one...

(btw, it is not my birthday yet... this cake was received in advance...
tomorrow I "suspect" I will be treated to a breakfast, lunch and a dinner...

hey... got supper too or not?
karaoke? disco?
No? None? awwwww...

  30. Aiyor...saw this post on my mobile last night and I quickly went online to be the 1st to wish you...but connection was so bad and I failed to do so! Now I'm number 32!!! Tsk! Tsk!

    Never mind! I think I was first to wish you on Facebook...and no harm wishing you again today - the actual day. So Happy Birthday, Claire...and may all your wishes come true. God's abundant blessings be upon you and your family throughout the coming year.

    P.S. How old already? But you look like in your 20s or 30s - like your children's elder sister. Some people have all the luck in the world!

    May today's be the best day of your life, a lot of love coming from me to your family, aaron, andy and fennie, and most importantly you , my sister.

  39. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! May you have a great one. As the years go by, I think what we really need for a birthday to be complete is just friends who still can remember and cherish us. Plus, you now have your children to celebrate with.
