May 9 is nice :)
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy biiiirthday Elsiiiiitaaaa!
Haaaappy birthday to you!
Yay!!!!!!!
37 my friend!
But I feel like I am somewhere between 17 and 23, not less and not more!
I say: It is not the way you look but the way you feel!!!!
Young forever!!!!!
An old neighbor of mine from the time when I lived in Cuba used to say: Oh, if I were just 60! How many things I would do! He was over 90 by the time he said that. Every year on my birthday I remember him because he was someone who celebrated life every single day and I have been trying to learn that lesson from him.
And going to the gift department: I drew these fancy dogs as a self-present because they make me smile! These doggies are all over 10 years old but they still feel like puppies! But the best present eeeever today is that my super busy husband is taking the day off from work to spend time with me!!!!. HOW COOL IS THAT? Thank you Billy!!! When he told me that yesterday I started literally jumping like Natalie does when she is happy. And then tonight Bill and I will have a special dinner at my favorite restaurant not far from our home. I am sure that today is going to be one of those perfect days where everybody is happy.
Have a wonderful day my friend and I wish all the Mothers on planet earth a beautiful Mother's day on Sunday!!!
See you on Monday!!!!
Elsita :)



















Happy Birthday dear Elsa! Thank you for all the joy you share with the world.
