Birthdays and Unusual
Celebrations
Thinking back I remember my
first Birthday party. It was on my tenth
birthday my mother allowed me to invite a few friends from school for a
party. Mother set it up in our back
yard, with my small table, and we had a picnic while we played “pin the tail on
the donkey,” and enjoyed cake and punch.”
My last party was when I hit
the big 40. My children and my parents
were there and we all celebrated this milestone in my life.
I have done some unusual
things on several of my birthdays.
It just so happened that one
year my birthday fell on my day to volunteer at the Rescue Mission Thrift Shop
in old Down Town Oakland. My sister came
down to wish me a Happy Birthday, and she exclaimed, “What a way to celebrate
your birthday.”
Many years ago now, my dad had
been in the Chico
My husband is not one for
cards and gifts, but he did send me the following e-mail on the day just prior
to my Birthday May 22, and I share it with you.
To Hazel MY ONLY WIFE
Almost eighty five and still
going, it doesn’t get much better than that.
Eighty five is a pretty big number and you have spent three fourths of
it with me. We were young and I think we
chose well. I can't imagine ever being with someone else. I want to thank you for our life together all
these years, you have been a good wife to me and I look forward to finishing
our lives together however long it may be.
I have, I do, and I will love you only. I love you. Bobby Ray Moon
