We've been in York for a few days with the family. (Would this row of shops pass building regulations these days?) The cats were looked after by a bloggy friend - more of this anon.
There was delicious cake, made by Daughter 2 - I'll tell you another time about the significance of the design.
I got some very exciting presents including this from Mr Life! I believe that America celebrated on Sunday also. So kind of the whole country to set off fireworks for my birthday.
I deserve this because I am now old enough to get a free bus pass.
When we got home, I unwrapped this present from Molly Bawn and Rise. Thank you so much! Isn't the bloggy world wonderful? It provides cat-sitters and also gifts from people whose proper names you don't even know!

Happy birthday, fellow cancerian. A free bus pass, a shiny ring, a magnificent cake and a beautiful bird! What a great birthday you had.
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy Birthday Isabelle! It looks like you've been treated royally - as it should be! And now I have to laugh -- when Molly mentioned sisters I thought...hmm, I don't remember anything about sisters but I played along...and now she I see meant Rise all along. Whew -- I'm not losing my mind after all (well at least not on this issue) LOL. Can't wait to hear more about your trip!
ReplyDeletehappy, happy birthday!!!
ReplyDeletei'm glad you enjoyed our nationwide fireworks display for your birthday - just lets you know how much you mean to all of us!
congratulations on the free bus pass!
and a blue bird of happiness - pretty doggone cool!
What a lovely celebration, and beautiful gifts. did you have a say in the ring, or was Mr Life able to select it unaided - right size and all?
ReplyDelete59A won't be too bad, really!
Belated birthday greetings...and what a beautiful ring!. Is'nt York fabulous and yes the bloggy world is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! A bus pass is a wonderful thing, I think, especially if it's raining and you just want to hop on a bus for the last couple of stops - no guilt about wasting a full fare!
ReplyDeleteVery happy belated birthday.
ReplyDeleteYork is a lovely place for a celebration.
Happy Birthday, Isabelle! Whisked away, and being spoilt by your family - just perfect for a 60th birthday! The bus pass.....well, you can travel the land with one of those, if you have the time! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Isabelle!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! Looking forward to being the next bloggy cat-sitters! Enjoy the bus pass...

Sounds like you all had a great time! Love the ring---yea for Mr. Life! My mother had a similar ring,called an eternity ring....Glad the little bird didn't die of exhaustion after his long journey!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday! Looking forward to hearing about the journey/trip/holiday....
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) birthday to you Isabelle-not your real name! You look like you were royally and rightfully spoiled.
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy Birthday - congratulations on attaining the Big 60! Your hubby must love you heaps - that is one beautiful ring. Sounds like your special day was pretty near perfect!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mrs Life, happy birthday indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Isabelle!! The ring is beautiful!! You must have been a really good girl. Your cake is lovely... what a talented daughter.
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet of you to wish us a Happy 4th of July. However it drove me nuts this year. Fireworks went on for 3 days in our little town and my poor doggy was a bit goofy from it all. Next year I shall try to get to Boston for the 4th and listen to the Boston Pops play the 1812 overture along the Charles River. Now that's a great 4th!!
Hugs to you,
Joni
Happy Birthday, Isabelle!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I enjoy very much your blog. I'm just one year older and your profile could be mine! Except that I'm not a teacher and don't sing either! :-)
