Hi Sharon!
Happy birthday to you! Sorry I am a few days after the actual day. I think 
you can celebrate your birthday for a good week before or after. "smile!" 
Yes, God truly is good! He blesses us in so many special ways! What a gift 
it was for you to spend part of the day with both your sisters: going out 
for dinner with Judy, and talking with Donna on the phone. The chance to 
share your birthday with dearly loved family and friends you miss but don't 
get to be with often are the memories you hold in your heart long after the 
day is over!
Progressive dinners are a whole lot of fun! What a neat idea to have a 
fast-food one!  You stopped at two of my favorites: Burger King, and Dairy 
Queen.
 I am glad you had a good birthday and that you could celebrate it in a way 
that was special for you!
Many blessings!
Sheila and Vinnie

: Hi guys!
:
: I had a good birthday this past Tuesday!  My sister Judy took me on a
: fast-food progress dinner, where you choose where you want to go for what
: food you want.  It was all done in the car, except Judy had to go to Fred
: Meyers, where she got a deep-fat-fried Mozzarella cheese stick for each of
: us.  i chose burger King for a Junior Whopper with cheese; then Burger
: Connection where her daughter Blanca used to work, for Tater Tots; then on
: to Dairy Queen for a cookie dough blizzard; and lastly, to MacDonald's for 
a
: diet Coke (or Pepsie, whatever they had).
:
: I also got money and phone calls as gifts.  Even the lord may have given 
me
: a couple of small gifts!  As I relate the first thing that happened, 
please
: keep in mind that nobody at Daybreak even mentioned my birthday that day,
: although they do acknowledge the birthdays of other group members.  When I
: get to Daybreak in the morning, I eat a little breakfast.  Lately I had 
been
: eating pop tarts.  If I was given a choice between fruit or brown sugar
: cinnamon, I chose the sweet one.  Well, on the morning of my birthday, I 
was
: busy working with the bar code scanner that we now use to sign in.  Soon
: after I'd sat down at the kitchen table, they brought me a pop tart.  I
: suspected that I had them trained to the point of assuming what I want. 
But
: this time, it was chocolate!  After I ate it, they asked me if I knew what
: kind it was.  They said, "But you like the brown sugar one, don't you?"  I
: told them yes, but that I like the chocolate kind better.  the cook said
: that she can buy the chocolate pop tarts from now on.
:
: Another interesting thing that happened was that my sister Donna, who 
lives
: in virginia, was on the phone with Judy as she was picking me up, so I
: talked with Donna for awhile.  Judy doesn't even know why Donna called!
: Aint god good?  I'm 41 now, or shall I start regressing, at 39?
