Happy Birthday to Me

Yep, today is my 56th birthday.  Whew, I never imagined that I would get this old.  I was so used to being the youngest and now a lot of times I'm the oldest.  I'm not to thrilled with the aging process, wrinkles, gray hair, age spots, and so on.  Not much choice though.  I'm definitely not interested in buying expensive products that are supposed to prevent or slow down the aging process.  After all, it's a fact of life.  I like the way that my husband looks at it.  We're getting closer to heaven. 

So what did I do on my birthday?  Got up and went to work.  No gifts because we don't have any money.  Although we will have a little extra money this week so I might have a mini spending spree later in the week.  We did go out to lunch Saturday, had a steak dinner, not bad.  My Sunday School class gave me a little party.  The lady that is coming into the class as a teacher brought cupcakes and gave me a small gift.  Very nice, very thoughtful of her.  I think we'll make a good team in Sunday School.  We had 5 kids, 4 girls and 1 boy.  The boy didn't seem to mind being surrounded by females.  Maybe he has a lot of sisters.

There's a few rain showers floating around but none floating our way.  The clouds did cool things down a bit. 

I started working on the crochet sweater.  It's working up really fast in spite of the fact that it's single crochet.  I think it's going to look really pretty.  Speaking of sweaters, today's photo of the day is the Aran knit sweater that I finished the other day. 

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in your will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
