So Excited!

I had a lovely birthday! I am so amazed at how lucky I am so have such sweet friends and family to love and who love me! You, internet friends, are included!

Now I want to tell you something.

Something...exciting.

Guess where I am?

Guess where I am RIGHT NOW! I'm so excited.

I'm here.

And tonight, I'm going to see this, which was written by the wonderfully witty Jenn over at breed 'em and weep and directed by her husband.

And tomorrow, I get to meet them!

Can you feel my excitement? Can you feel it?

I can!

So right now, I have to go shopping for shoes to wear tonight! And then I'm going here.

So, I'll leave you with a sweet poem written for me by The Mater on my birthday. I can't tell you how touched I am that you did this for me, sweet woman!

Ode to a Tree

I think that I shall never see

A psychic wiser than Ms. Tree

She can find so many ghosts

All about whom she later posts

In fact our gal is just so clever

With her out-of-sight endeavor

That she thrills us to no end

On Tuesdays with her shadowy friends

We who don’t possess her gift

May feel like we get short shrift

But being Tree can have its stress

She always has to prepare for guests

Can you imagine trying to do an energy read

With ancestral spirits letting you know their every need

Some may be polite and wait their turn

But others are pushy and have a lot to learn

Poor Tree does the best she can

While her boys and hubby try to understand

There are some nights she sets the table for more

Because you never know who’s coming through Tree's door

They don’t knock because they can’t

Tree has such good manners, she doesn’t rant

She lets them in one by one

They entertain and provide some fun

Just like guests which we can see

Ghosts who behave share Tree’s hospitality

But others who make too many demands

May be put in timeout ‘cause Tree’s in command

So dear Tree as you turn another year older

May those in your life make you feel warmer not colder

Remember that Love is the reason we’re here

Go gently, live kindly and you’ll have nothing to fear

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
