Happy 50th Me!
Wow, how can it be?
I remember thoughts and feelings from when I was 2.
I remember thinking a 12 year old
in my neighborhood was old!
Hubby and I left the apartment and pets
in a friend’s care and hit the back roads
of our beautiful New Brunswick.
The day was a cool 68F.
A nursery and grill for lunch:
One of many covered bridges in this province:
After shopping a couple of antique stores
along the way we reached our destination,
Shadowlawn Inn in Rothesay, NB.
Five course meal done, we climbed the stairs to
our lovely room.
Hiking some trails the next day helped us work
off our rich foods.
I got gifts and well wishes from many
and I still have a brunch with friends
and a catered celebration this weekend
but I have to say that the Zoom call with my kids
and my parents and siblings on the eve of my
birthday was my most treasured gift.
Each recounted a fav memory of me and
a reading of what was popular in my teens—
which sent us off into even more laughter and memories.
Have a weekend full of memories and make some new ones

Happy birthday! My parents actually took us to New Hampshire one year just to tour all of the covered bridges. Loved it! Janice
Well, wishing you the very happiest of belated birthday wishes! It sounds like an impossibly wonderful way to celebrate. You are truly loved and blessed..... (And, yeah....I agree with my twin....50 is NOT old LOL). Happy new week ahead! ~Robin~
Thanks— it was! NB rocks!
It’s all relative, ain’t it 😀
So far so good. I am the youngest of my set of friends , so it’s encouraging
There’s something mystical about the covered bridge- wish they could speak about those who passed over them
Thank you! I’m practicing being more outspoken. Hope I don’t end up in the hoosegow this year 😀
A beautiful way to spend your special day! Happy 50th!
Yay! Thank you
