  4. Happy birthday, Marian!!! My friend Christy made that cake. She does a great job, don't you think? It is freezing cold in Virginia. How is it over there? Do you want some punch with your cake?

  8. Happy Birthday, dear Marian! I hope it's the best ever!! I want all my friends on here to be the first to know...well second, I told hubby. I started back on Weight Watchers (I have been a lifetime member since I lost 50 lbs seventeen years ago), and I lost EXACTLY 5 lbs in one week! YAY! So I can enjoy a BIG slice of that cake! Anne, Carrie's cakes are all calorieless so we can totally indulge!

    Marian, any special plans??

  16. Marian, that sounds special to me! All my sis in laws came over bearing gifts on my b'day! They didn't need to bring gifts--they were the gifts!

    I'm wearing my very beautiful beaded necklace today with a gray and purple blouse...wow, it looks good! The gray pendant is picking up the purple AND the gray in the shirt. Some beautiful lady gave me that for my b'day. :):)

  20. Diana, I've been wearing my necklace too! The stones are grey, but it looks fabulous on green! I was wearing green and the family liked it.

    I've been in the kitchen preparing snacks. I love to do that for my family! They bring gifts me and I give them food back. LOL So we're all happy at the end of the day :))
