Ellie and John's gift.........................
Monday was my birthday and what a day I had. I had saved my cards and gifts and opened them on 'my day.' Edward gave a bouquet of red roses, a scanner for my laptop and a pretty card....
Friends Sandra and Linda Gail gave me the goblets, respectively......they completed sets I had already started.....
Sunday morning, I was given a set of 'Blessing' figurines.....Love, Peace and Joy.....by our Church congregation..........
Cards I received through 'snail mail'.......Melinda and family gave me money..........
Shirley gave me a set of 'Old Country Roses' vases that match my china......
I received a wonderful surprise package from my dear, sweet, friend, Marion, in Wales. It was full of great gifts.....a picturesque 2008 calendar of Welsh scenery, beautifully hand crafted envelopes made by Marion, a lovely fabric 'Betty Bag', a Welsh hand carved wooden 'Lovespoon', a precious pink and green cabbage rose printed Laura Ashley clothespin bag on a wooden hanger and a birthday card with a breath taking scene of Tal-y Llyn.................and not only that...Marion called me on Thursday.....such a surprise..... I was so happy to hear that soft, lilting, English voice..........
Mary Jo gave me this red and ivory pitcher that matches other dishes that I have.......
Amy and family gave me a shepherd's hook and fern..................
My 'Secret Pal' at church gave me this charming rooster lamp.........To you ,wonderful friends, that came by and left me a sweet birthday comment, you will never know how much each one meant to me and I thank you so very much.........

Wow! What a birthday! Those roses are just beautiful as well as your other gifts.
I would say that you have been celebrated! Isn't it nice to have a day just for you?! I know you enjoyed every gift and expression of love.
Wow!! You were truly blessed.

Your so disciplined to keep all your presents until your actual birth day, as opposed to opening them when you receive them !
I like Ellie and John's gift. Cute about them coming in the wagon. Betty, that would have made a nice photo!
Boy, when you have a birthday you really have one!! Congrats to you!! What beautiful gifts and so many cards.
Dear Betty,
I'm sorry I wasn't here to give you birthday wishes on your special day.
I hope it's not to late to give them to you now. You certainly were blessed with so many lovelies.
May the coming year be filled with every blessing for you.
hugs!
My goodness, you really did have a Happy Birthday! That's a pretty picture of you and your roses. My mother used to have those green tall glasses. I love the shepherd's hook. And you sure do have lots of friends with all those cards. :o) And you have sweet little grandchildren too!
Betty, what a wonderful birthday you had! It's no wonder that you received so many sweet gifts, I am sure you are a wonderful friend to anyone you meet.
God bless you this "new" year!
