Yeah!! I've nearly made it.
« on: April 22, 2009, 04:23:25 am »
Well, I have to share with someone so my poor TMX friends here it is.
I will be 60 tomorrow and I'm VERY excited. I had a nasty melanoma removed a couple of years ago and occasionally wondered if I'd get to 60.............and tomorrow is the big day. Fortunately I'm in perfect health and keep having all my checkups and life is wonderful.
My DH hates eating out so tomorrow is dinner with daughter and I, and for lunch he threatens to take me to Maccas. It will more likely be a lovely sushi place we have locally. Today I'm off to the Burswood (our local casino) to have a party lunch with friends. Unfortunately one brother is in ACT and the other is away at the moment, so it will be phone calls there.
I guess I'm silly to be all excited about being 60 but to me it's an important milestone and life is exciting. I even have my Seniors card all ready to fax off!!
Roll on tomorrow. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just remembered (I'm getting old and forgetful  ;) ;) ;D ) that I read people are now saying that 60 is the new 40.  So time to party.

Well done Cookie1.  So glad to hear your health is A1 and yes, I was excited too when I turned 60 a few years ago as my daughters shouted me to Las Vegas.  Have a lovely birthday tomorrow, I'm sure you will cook up a storm.  Loved the message from bimby - you girls are so clever with your computers.

Funny thing Cookie1, you were on my mind as I was just waiting for your decadent cookies to cook, came in to see if any more messages had been posted and found your birthday declaration. Will let you know later how they turned out.

Happy birthday Bron.  May your day be wonderful. A friend once told me that it is only the outside of us that ages, not the inside, and I think that is so true.

Thank you everyone, you've made me feel very special. I had my first taste of Dom Perignon (spelling?) yesterday-mmmm.

Thanks again dear TMX friends. :-* :-* :-*
