Comment from Patty Mazzurco
Your sense of humor jumps off of each and every line throughout this! Happy birthday!! Especially in the moments where you poke fun at yourself, like the 'plump armchair' and the out-of-tune singing with your dogs. It's these personal touches that make the piece relatable and enjoyable. The birthday wishes at the end... wrapped in smiles... hugs, stars, and rainbows, are a perfect way to close!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROL! A fun one from you to you! Well, the dogs helped and if I were there you'd get cake, sweets, and plenty of songs too. I can do a party lickedy-split though blind. I hope your day is SUPER and your year ahead.
Love & Blessings on your birthday and always.

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Happy Birthday, my dear!! You have a humorous and honest poem about how you perceive yourself, if some ways through the eyes and experiences of your characters. I recognize most if not all of them. I hope they are celebrating well with you.
Big birthday hug,
Rhonda

Thanks, Rhonda. Just wanted to make sure that everyone could celebrate my birthday with me. It wouldn't be a party unless my friends were there. Thank you for coming and make sure you get a slice of that virtual cake.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Seriously, Happy Birthday!!

Comment from LJbutterfly
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROL. Thank you for allowing me to share this day with you, and for inviting me to the party. I can't write mystery, but mystery and suspense has been my favorite genre to read since I was a teenager (many, many lifetimes ago). Your characters are so well developed I feel like they are familiar friends. I love Eleanor, and of course I loved Lorrie (My Pinterest account is under the name Lorrie). How did you know?
With the love of your FanStory family surrounding you, I hope you experience a glorious birthday party and a successful year of creating and writing. Now I'm on my way to get a piece of cake.

Thank you, Sandra! Of course, it wouldnt be a celebration without you! So I get to say you are my "older" sister...LOL. I'm glad you liked my silliness...it made me feel good too! I must admit it started at midnight with Karen and I sharing craziness for hours than I slept for a few hours and started again. I've had more fun this birthday than I have in a very very long time. I've had people singing to me, writing me poems, reading my story, and someone might have "lifted" the Queen's crown and gave it to me.
Love you forever. Thanks for being a very special part of my life.
Smiles, hugs and love, Carol
Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Carol, what a fun and delightful post this is. I laughed so hard thru most of it because A) my mind works in that sporadic way of bouncing all over and going with the flow, and B) because my mind works in that sporadic..........etc.... Hahahahaha.
This was so much fun and I totally enjoyed your birthday celebration, in every aspect that you mentioned. You did have me kinda worried that you could knit a scarf so fast. LOL.. i was thinking about how you had a partner that could walk thru walls and a handsome FBI agent there, ready to make passionate eyes at.
(Did you wonder what I was going to say with that one?) and yet my question was how you could knit something that fast? haha. Then to find out that you are not even a knitting grandma. Me neither! I knit more when I was in my twenties than I do now.
Anyway, like I said, this was so much fun that you even have me in a silly mood now. I loved it. So you put this post with my poem for you and you have one heck of a celebration, girlfriend. I am sure that this birthday is going to be the best one yet. And Carol, I must say, I am so happy that you began again!!
Lotsa Love and Hugs!! Debi

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Debi, set the mood for the celebration and I just followed your lead. Thank for the most generous poem and for appreciating this silly whim of mine to celebrate. Don't forget to grab a slice of virtual cake... it's the best!
Smiles, hugs, and love,
Carol

It was wonderful. I loved your post completely, You are crazy lady and I love crazy as in silly and fun. So I also forgot to give the birthday girl a big birthday kiss. I will catch you later for that. I would love to send you another smashup so were you able to open the one from this morning?
This one will secure that fun celebration. Shoot, I am more excited about yours than I am about mine. Of course mine is not going to be celebrated this year because I am going into the next decade. UGH! Maybe with you around I won't feel so gloomy over it. LOL.
-
When is your birthday? We could a great big celebration.... I'll start planning.
-
Ooooh this year is a bummer one. I have to face 70.
-
It is the initial reaction of facing a year that seemed was just yesterday my grandma's age. You know?
-
I thought 70 would be a tough one, but it really wasn't any different than the others... it's how you let it affect you. but then, I lost Mike when I was 70 so maybe I just didn't have time to think about it.
-
And it must have seen so trivial at the time. I know it is just a number and will be fine after it happens. It is better than the alternative. LOL.. so in that case, my birthday is October 19th.

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and for joining in my birthday celebration. Yes, Debi's poems are beyond awesome and I am so flattered that she chose to write one for me. I'm glad you enjoyed the cake and of course, my bit of fun with a story.
I am beyond flattered with the praise and the stars....Confetti for the remainder of the year! Thank you so much for your kindness.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Well, Happy Birthday Carol. I thought that was a pretty cool way to celebrate your birthday. Writing a story about it lol! I never thought about doing that before, but I like that idea! Keep up the good work!

Comment from Wendy G
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you can hear me cheering all the way from Australia. I wish you good health and happiness and a wonderful year to follow. I am so glad you are back again, and finding such joy in your writing. What a great idea to have a party. We are your family too, and we all rejoice with you. What a creative way to invite us all, and how imaginative to include all your favourite characters. They're also your friends! Celebrate well. We're all with you.

Hurrah! Wendy, I wasn't sure you could make it considering the distance and you have so much going on all the time. But I am thrilled you joined the celebration and hope you bumped into Eleanor and Garth while you were here.
Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes and the glittery stars. I think I might use them as confetti to remind me how special You made me feel.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

I am glad to join your party - and that cake looks delicious. I'd love a slice, but I guess it'll have to be virtual! Let's pretend I am eating it right now! And huge hugs for your birthday. And don't look in that mirror too much. I scare myself all the time when I catch a glimpse of myself!
