A Week of Birthdays!

Clemmie and I both had birthdays this past week. I turned 45 on Tuesday, while Clemmie celebrated her 11th birthday on Saturday. Both of us had extra special birthdays this year, thanks to our family and friends. On Tuesday, Bruce took me to Montgomery and we went to the Eastbrook Flea Market and then he treated me to a steak dinner at Longhorns. On Thursday, my sweet friends, Jen and Sandy, along with Ian, Faulkner and Chelsea, treated me to a terrific lunch of homemade chili and birthday cake and ice cream. After lunch, we played two rounds of "Apples to Apples". I had so much fun and also received a beautiful, soft and cuddly, brown blanket for a present, as well as, one of Chelsea's handmade cards.
On Sunday afternoon, the Cauthens, Jennifer, Sarah, Zane, Madeline and Adrianne joined us at the Brunswick Lanes for an afternoon of bowling, in celebration of Clemmie's birthday. Clemmie had a great time and I think that everyone else did as well. She also received some wonderful gifts such as a very soft blue blanket, a manicure set, and a Taylor Swift CD.

It was a really terrific week of birthdays at the Croley house. Now to prepare to host my first ever Hanukkah party!!

Shavua Tov!
