    You are ALL SO WONDERFUL; bless you for the birthday greetings. No, I wasn't in Spain for my birthday, that was a fabulous trip Dave and I took a few years ago…great memories.
    My birthday was okay, the best part was I made it to 60…thank God for His gift.

    AHHH! You are 60 now! My mother said, the Sixties are very nice years! I'll be sixty in December. Xavier asked me today, how old you are, and I said 55 🙂

    Happy Birthday, dearest Sandra! I hope it was a wonderful one. I also enjoyed reading about your week in NYC with your sister. What fun! I will have 2 of my sisters here in a couple of weeks for a sister sleepover but it has been a year since all 4 of us have been together. We have dreams of renting a beach cottage some day but it's so difficult to pull off. I hope that you and your sister had the time of your life.

    Also just printed off Sunday's Sabbath Keeping. I am late getting to it this week but I always believe timing is everything and maybe today is the day I will need to be reminded not to get angry–or act on my anger!
