Mr. Darcy's passions is truly a great book to cuddle up to at night. Unfortunately after babysitting for my two little passions, Madison and Riley, last night, it wasn't long before I could hardly keep my eyes open. Mr. Darcy and his passions were put to bed quite early!
This weekend is one I have been anxiously awaiting. Tomorrow we will celebrate my upcoming 50th birthday. Hah! I used to think 50 was old, but now not so much. In some ways I feel very different, secure in who I am, my thoughts and my feelings towards others. And in other ways, I'm still just me! When asked about how I wanted to celebrate, my first thought was a party. I wanted it to be a celebration of hitting this milestone. After losing a brother and a sister to cancer when they were so young, aging was something I was looking forward to. My next thought was, family and friends. So thus the planning began, all done by my daughter. She is the party planner in the family and has organized and "directed" everyone in their duties. Even my 4 year old granddaughter is in on all the secrecy. So tomorrow at 4:00 my whole family; husband, children, grandchildren, parents, sisters, nieces, nephews, all my in-laws and my closest friends will be together. So "my party" won't be about me, but rather about the gift of family and friends sharing a night of love, laughter and of course great food!!
