[Nfb-krafters-korner] Free birthday stuff

[Paulette Vickery]

Hi Linda,

It sounds like you had a lovely and wonderful seventieth birthday. I
thoroughly enjoyed  reading about it. I just finished drinking my cocoa
which had been whipped with an emertion blender to make it creamy. Now that
was a little bit of heaven. I think they should start manufacturing and
selling delicate cups and saucers as well as dinner ware again. My cup was
so light I felt like I was drinking from air.

Paulette

Hello Paulette,
I  read your birthday message with a smile.  It was so nice and you wrote it

so well.  I also  send you my very best wishes for a wonderful day.
Today is my un-birthday and I often celebrate it, too. I just fixed myself a

nice cup of Kauai coffee from Hawaii,  I turned the big seven-0 on August 
28th, so I gave myself a lovely day. My sister came to visit me for the day;

we had lunch at the Mexican restaurant that we enjoy. We must have been 
there about two hours talking and laughing. Later, when we were back at my 
house,  we ate décadent creamy cake together. She even brought me a little 
bouquet of flowers.  I just had to throw them out a few days ago so I got to

enjoy them a long time.  I had other visits on other days with more birthday

good wishes from children. My best friend paid for my pedicure - we had made

our appointment to go together but when it was my turn to pay for mine, the 
lady told me it was paid for - and my friend said, "Happy Birthday."  Thanks

for sharing your day with us, too. Happy un-birthday to all. Lynda
