I had the Happiest Birthday I can remember

This past Saturday turned out to be full of happiness because my daughter made me feel so loved. It was a giddy kind of day full of laughing and thrills for me. I received my first camcorder which I have wanted for years. Could never reward myself but my incredible daughter gave me beautifully wrapped gifts in equally beautifiul shopping bags. Each present was a treasure she had selected knowing my exact taste. And plenty of surprise gifts too. Such as a large box of Feng Shui house blessing incense.
She made a dark chocolate expresso cake with peanut butter icing, and it was most delicious. White bean soup with rosemary and miso, my favorite Primo's classic cheese hoagie served with dark potato chips and coleslaw. We had our soup with home-made bread baked by my grandson at his school the day before. I know it's wierd but cheese hoagies are one of my favorite foods and Primo's makes one of the best.
Being with my daughter, son-in-law, grandson, mother and husband on my birthday was not unusual but this particular one filled me with so much joy. There is so much more to write but I will stop for now. Made growing older downright bearable.
