Day of Birthday Celebrations

I had two friends whose birthdays I celebrated today. The first was my friend Judy. I met Judy right when we moved to Durham and learned to play Mah Jongg with her. Judy is a little older than I am so she was always good for advice. But she is best at telling a good joke. Her timing and delivery can’t be beat.

So today Jan organized a brunch with Judy, Diane, Helen, Deanna and myself. Jan, Diane along with Judy were in my original mah Jongg group. We were only missing Roz. Deanna joined us some years later after she and I learned to play bridge from Helen and Jan. We all love games and each other.

It was not a big birthday, but at this age they all are big. It is just nice to be together.

My second birthday group was my secret stitching group. Since it is a secret I can not reveal who is in it, or whose birthday we were celebrating, but it was fun as it always is. We are not doing presents anymore which makes me happy since I don’t want more stuff, no matter how good it is.

Being with my stitchers reminds me I have to get on making my Christmas exchange ornaments. I had a good idea while I was working on my chair seat. I am working on number three and it feel like it is going on forever. This is probably because I have been working for months on background. It was good to do while catching up with the stitching news.

So many celebrations on one day. Thank goodness for some good news.
