My birthday was fabulous. We enjoyed high tea at the Westcliff Hotel. We felt so larny. I was spoiled rotten and as always I'm completely astounded at how loved and blessed I am. The day before my birthday I received a parcel from my friend Barb in America. We are e mail buddies. We have never met. Yet, her parcel was the kind of stuff that only a friend would know I appreciate. It was brilliant and very orange. Today, almost three weeks after my birthday, I received a parcel from my friend Brunhild in England. And it too, had the kind of stuff in it that only a friend would know I appreciate. That's what's so great about friends. They just get you. I'm in awe. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
