Well, I had another trip around the sun yesterday. I am officially 75 years old now! I feel great and I had a doctor appointment today and all is fine although I have to wait for the blood work to come back. I noticed that he wants to see me every 3 months now? Hmmm....I asked if it was the insurance company and she said no, it was doc. I wonder if when you hit 75 they figure they should check up on you more often? I may have to call and ask Monday.
I got some lovely cards and presents.....thank you, friends! My cousin Kay, sent me the Old Person Bingo....hysterical.....the stickers are inside the card....I haven't played yet but what you want to bet I will get a Bingo when I do?!? When we were kids, our aunt Alice would take us to Bingo at the VFW on Thursday nights. That was in the day when kids could be around alcohol and smokers...lol! We had so much fun...Kay remembers the Beer Nuts while I remember the Orange Crush pop and Aunt Alice always gave us unlimited refills. She spoiled us rotten...so did Uncle Ben! Those were the days!
There's a kit for it at Farmgirl Drygoods............I have a red towel too for a Santa XS but the pattern is sold out right now but that's okay as I won't be starting that one for awhile.
I'm a big planner at the beginning of the New Year especially with my birthday at about the same time. I have a Needle Worker's book and a Cross Stitch journal where I will be keeping track of my projects.....I also have a 5 year planner for non-craft related projects....
I also got some stickers to go in it................they are little books of stickers..........
It snowed this afternoon!!! It's sticking but there's not much......but it's something!
Nothing can compare to a full blown midwest blizzard though, especially when I lived out in the country! Loved it! I always had plenty of food stored in the winter, I had 4 wheel drive plus a wood burner that kept my entire house toasty if the power went out. Now, that was the epitome of cozy!

Happy Birthday! I love your birthday "loot"! I remember hanging out with the cigarette smoke and beers. And crawling under tables. When I first got married, I would go to Bingo with friends at grange halls. They would be sponsored by someone who sold stuff like tupperware. The prizes were tupperware and you could place orders, too.
I love your "funny". I will be saving that for myself in 2 years!
Happy Birthday Sam. You were born the same year as my hubby! This is a milestone year for the 2 of you. Three quarters of a century!!! I remember beer nuts. Do they still make you them? You have so many cross stitch patterns on the go. It will be interesting to see how fast you new project book fills up with them. And all of them are so sweet.
Happy,happy birthday Sam! I'm "almost" in the club for that meme. I was born in 1960 so I turned 20 February 1, 1960.
I do remember going to BINGO with my Mom and the smokey hall and pop. Lots of pop! I miss those days of no worries, no stress and just having fun most of the time. I wonder if kids still feel that way?
Love that little pillow and your planning books and stickers. I've done a fairly good job of keeping track of my projects in a book all of 2023. I know I missed writing down a few, but this is the best I've ever managed to do.
Wishing you a happy 75th year on the planet and a healthy one too.
Blessings,
Betsy
I turn '20' on 25th! Happy Belated birthday to you.
Happy Birthday Sam!! Yes we must age gracefully...that last poster is so true:)
Happy Birthday, Sam. I turn 73 on February 13. That snow is so pretty. It hasn't snowed around here in years and I miss it. Now that I don't have to be out in it, I would love a nice snow. Hugs, Sharon
