Thank you all for the your most encouraging and kind comments but, it is not me who get to go the birthday party it's our daughter (Grandma). Sorry for the misunderstanding ----but I sure would like to be there. So I stayed home and helped my friend rip out a row of messy quilting instead. It is always more fun when there are two of you, at least you have someone to vent to, she always calls me when there is ripping to do. Again thank you
