    Red face I had a wonderful weekend !!!!

    I have just had the most wonderful weekend.
    My 2 daughters arranged a surprise 60th birthday party. I was totally oblivious of the arrangements being made. Lots of old friend & relatives came. My Mum & 2 sisters were there which was great, Mum has the Aneurism & Dementia so I am guessing we'll not have many more of them so it was extra special. Apparently my unplanned visits to eldest daughter's house had them "putting tables up then pulling them down"
    I am now chuckling at how many times they had to do that
    My 3 grandaughters were wonderful keeping the secret I speak to them almost every day & they didn't make a slip up once.
    My birthday cake was made with Nanny sitting on her lounge chair with overlocker set up on ironing board all the magazines & fabric scattered all around.Even had the vacuum cleaner lying nearby -- don't know what it's for though LOL
    Nanny & the lounge chair are chocolate mud cake the rest are all made from icing, it was a beautiful cake.
    Children can be delightful

    Sounds like your dear daughters are as creative in their way as you are in your quilting. How precious these memories will be!

    Thanx guys for your wishes.
    Youngest granddaughter phoned me for my birthday yesterday. I said " you forgot" Her answer was "No I didn't Nanny but Mummy did."
    This is the one who put the scarf over my head to lead me outside for the surprise. I had taken my shoes off so was in my socks for the night's activities Gosh it was fun !!!
