This morning playing tennis.Some of the workers came on the tennis court to wish and sang Happy Birthday to Me.One of my dear friend present me with a bag and she made 54 brownies as you can see in the photo.
She was going to make 87 so she could not.I do not blame her.

I must say.I am glad that this will be over tomorrow.
Not used to all this attention.LOL.But loved it

I still have a hard time thinking you are 87....
May Day back in Catholic School was a biggie - we put flowers on the statue of Mary and sang...'Bring flowers of the fairest, bring flowers of the rarest....and I don't remember the rest of he words.
Can I have a brownie?

I also attended a catholic school, and if memory serves me correct, the month of May is dedicated to the Virgin Mother. We had a "shrine" that we'd put up at home too, a statue and fresh flowers. But I don't remember any of the songs except for Ave Maria.

@Juliaacv Ave Maria - that one makes me cry....it was my mother's favorite and when we had her 'service' the Priest asked what song we wanted I picked that one for her. May Crowing was something else we always had a procession and flowers...May was a big month!

Good heavens are you 87 Alfredo? I would never have guessed it. Well done to you and I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. I hope you are here still at 107! Happy Birthday my friend! All good people are born in May. Did you know this fact?
