On Saturday, I got a packet of birthday cards &amp; trinkets from my mom and sisters. That evening, BN took me out to dinner and gave me a pair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/view_listing.php?listing_id=32991820&amp;fref=fb_itemlist\">earrings<\/a> I had picked out from my friend Esther Lee, a jewelry designer. The charms I selected are Peruvian opal, they are a bright aqua blue, semi-opaque. E gave me some additional charms when I saw her at church the next day so now I am well started on my collection.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"BirthdayPlant by fidget kt, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/15197746@N03\/4035195180\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2534\/4035195180_99fc2f203b.jpg\" alt=\"BirthdayPlant\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday afternoon, I got phone calls from my sister GC, my brother JP, and I talked for more than an hour with my sister SS. Then my friend CO came over and brought me a Christmas Cactus. We went on a walk around the neighborhood and checked out the beautiful fall leaves. In the evening our friends the K&#8217;s took us out for pizza and gave me a cool blank journal that closes with a magnet. Right after we got home my grandparents called and sang happy birthday to me.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I like about Facebook is it helps with remembering people&#8217;s birthdays. I got lots of well-wishes there. On Tuesday at our Bible study I got <em>more<\/em> birthday love &#8211; TR gave me a card and a potted chrysanthemum and JM made apple crisp in my honor.<\/p>\n<p>I feel so blessed by all the people who gave me birthday wishes, cards, and gifts.
