Birthday Blogs are the Best!!!
Dear Friends May 6, 2007
Only a day to my Birthday and unlike last year , when I chose to ignore my natal day(by the way it was a dud of a day) I am celebrating ME and the wonderfulness of my life. and the “amazing” friends God has placed in my journey
If you happen to be a part of this happy group I call” friends” ---thank you for all your support and love and birthday goodies. If not—well come aboard ---you are missing out!
My plan is to go to town with Justine(my friend and supervisor) and have a sauna and massage. It is difficult to imagine that in this town( Kisoro) there could actually be such a thing as a massage therapist, but apparently the “Tourist Hotel” has such an amenity and I intend to take full advantage of it.
Thank you “Miracle Workers” Carolyn, Carol, Cynthia and Bonnie for the Birthday Care Package.: chocolate( marshmallow eggs, bunnies and Ghiardelli mint and raspberry filled candies), hooks, tacks, shampoo, skin lotion with SPF 15, Tuna and Salmon in sealed packages, a million DVD’s(I just rewatched Diane Keaton in “Somethings gotta give”) So much better the second time around. And the best of all Pink Canada Mints(there is a God!-smile) I am one happy birthday girl.
Then to top it off I am 20 pounds thinner than when I left the USA. Now that is something to celebrate. Why you ask? Well butter is hard to come by and I must walk 3 or 4 miles on an average day, so even with the goody care package, I should be able to keep my girlish figure(ha)
I’ll write more later when I have time and I am again able to download photo’s onto my computer. Thinking of all those lucky people who share a May Birthday with me, especially my friends Bill N Robbye F A Marilyn Band Jeff R. I will conclude with a birthday wish for myself and all the May folk. In my life.
When you were born
You cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life in such a manner that
When you die
The World cries and you rejoice.

Ps Photo taken last Aug when I stopped to visit Rebecca Wilson Southard on my way to LosAngeles, California to start formation to be a missionary with Lay Mission Helpers.
Rebecca thought it absurd that I chose to not celebrate my birthday while in South Africa, so gave me a spontaneous birthday party with the most gorgeous pink cake!!!!The fact that it was so sweet even I could not eat it, made it even more fun for Rebecca, her husband Steven and son’s Asa and Ari and me, the birthday girl(HA)

You Glow girl!!!!!joy!Joy!Joy! on each and every day you are upnight and taking nourishment...modified, anyway. That is a most contagiously happy picture. I hope the emails are now getting through, cause I am getting a bit looney tryint to get things done right, from my end. Hoping your 2nd BDay in Africa was most awesome and that all the incredible goody Care Package from your amazing and most original circle of southern bells, gets maximized and savored for days and weeks to come. You Miracle workers are an incredible group. I intend to learn the right way of getting things done, long distance. So, please, one of you wonderful women, If you happen to catch this blog comment,email me (address from marie) and I'll get connected. I feel like a caboose, but I'm sure willing to listen and learn. We have much in common, mostly we are the recipients of the tremedous outpouring of unconditional love and Irish blarney, er, humor, of one precious soul sister... Here's to you, Marie, and may the days ahead be smooth sailing in every detail....love ya, Mary J.
