YES -- I AM STILL WRITING ABOUT MY PARTY....
And, YES -- I'm aware that it's been a week.
But -- hey -- IT'S MY PARTY AND I'LL BLOG IF I WANT TO....
 |
| After Anne's slide show -- Kelcy presented me with a package. She jokingly told me it was "Rita Wrap" -- which meant they used newspaper... |
 |
| Inside the newspaper wrapping -- was a really fancy wrapping... |
 |
| OMG...OMG...OMG...It's a Friendship Quilt!! |
 |
| Every person in the room had contributed a block to my very special, wonderful quilt. |
 |
| There was a special "gift tag" block on the back of the quilt. |
 |
| The center block is a beautiful "LOVE" embroidery, by my sister Deborah Enderson -- who came all the way from Tennessee!! |
 |
| Deena was the one who assembled the quilt...her daughter Kelcy gave it to me...and her daughter Myla served as our Vanna White during the slide show... |
 |
| My Aunt Adda (91) was at my party -- which meant we had FOUR GENERATIONS represented!! |
In the entire world-wide history of surprise parties, nobody has ever been MORE SURPRISED than I was last Saturday. And that certainly added to the joy of the day.
But -- this gift -- this fabulous friendship quilt...with blocks made by the special women friends of my heart...I honestly cannot imagine a more wonderful gift.
Not only will I treasure it FOREVER...I'm now planning an entire room around it!!
Yes...I am a lucky, lucky girl...and I know it...
What an awesome gift, awesome day, awesome birthday!!
