I worked all day on my birthday. In the morning, Kaye made me a pumpkin streusel cheesecake that was amazing. She and LaDonna gave me a card with lottery tickets in it.
For lunch, I ate at Wade's with my co-workers. It's hard to beat turkey & dressing day, as well as free peanut butter pie. Yum!
For dinner, Vince arranged with my friends to surprise me with a nice gathering of family & friends at City Range. I had a great steak for dinner, followed by a pineapple upside down cake that Kaye made me and free creme brulee from City Range. Yum!
Vince & Evan gave me new tires & wheels for my car, a jam/jelly maker machine, and a tower of chocolates & candy, and 2 dozen roses. Kaye & LaDonna gave me lots of nice baking items that I've been wanting including a chocolate warmer and fondant/pasta roller, and some beautiful flowers with a balloon. Jerry & Barbara gave me a nice Tervis Tumbler that said "I'm not 40. I'm 18 with 22 years experience" and some lovely Pandora earrings. Peggy gave me beautiful a jewelry set. It was a fabulous birthday! I'm so blessed to have such great family & friends.

Billy, Eddie, Kim, John, Pat & Rachel all pitched in and got me a Coach purse and money to do either a vacation or some type of "me" activity like a massage or spa treatment. I can't wait to use it!
WOW! That is an awesome birthday! I think you should turn 40 every year :) I am so sorry that the Walkers couldn't represent at City Range! Jayce had a performance at school that night!
