I am treating my Birthday Thread as a "Scrap Book" of this 60th Birthday and adding some birthday greetings from PM's and other threads. Also my birthday pictures and my "60" graphic collection!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRISSY!!!
I just wanted to wish you a wonderful birthday. I hope you had an awesome day. I will never forget first meeting you in NC on the Solo Tour, and then waiting in the rain at the buses in Kansas City in 2005. You are such a sweetheart, and deserve a great birthday!!
In honor of your birthday, I decided to write you a short poem - like you used to do for us. (although I'm not as good as you)
Dear Prissy is from Texas, she sure is proud of that
I have never been there, but I've heard it's kinda flat.
She loves Clay and even though he seems to skip her state,
She doesn't whine or even complain because she is first rate.
She deserves a birthday full of things that make her day,
I hope she knows she's loved all year, and even by our Clay!
Okay, so that is a pitiful attempt at a poem - but I had to at least try. Next year I'll just send a picture of Clay instead.
I wish you a year full of good friends, great laughs, and all the Clay you want!!
Looking forward to seeing you in Knoxville!
Love,
Sarah Joy
Dearest Prissy,
I haven't been on except to post a quick hello for about 3-4 days. I just saw that tomorrow is your "29th" birthday and I feel so bad as I would surely have sent you a card had I known in time. We are leaving tomorrow for vacation and I am not getting out today and again, I feel awful....so please except this as your birthday "card".
I hope you have a fantastic day surrounded by family and friends. You are a wonderful person and are loved by everyone who has the good fortune to know you, including me.
I also saw your High School picture...I just knew you were a beauty, because you are still one today....not only on the outside, but inside as well.
Love and Hugs,
Susan

Happy Birthday, Prissy!
We had over 31/2 inches of rain last Friday so we are in a holding pattern as far as planting goes. This weekend Norm and I will get inpatients that I'll plant in rectangular pots and place all around the deck railing. Then I'll plant wave petunias in three pots in the front of the house.
All of our retrodden look like they are dead and dying. The three by the side of the house were well established bushes.
Evening everyone!
Michelle -
Prissy -
Woody and
Glory - Presale tickets for Cary go on sale this Wed. @ 10 a.m.
I'll be able to try for them from work.
Howdy ho one and all. How is everyone?? Kind of ran off yesterday before I read back. I just got tired all of a sudden, but I'm fine.
Prissy!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you've been having a wonderfully spiffy birthday week.
Anyhoo, just wanted to stop in and say hello.
Love you all

Prissy, Have a Happy Birthday! I think your celebrations have lasted longer than the Queen of England and I believe you had more cake. They sure looked wonderful! Birthday Hugs. Corbet
Some of you have wanted to see some birthday pictures from the past few days. If you are not interested, just scroll on down.
Thursday evening, after playing a retirement reception, my three sisters, their husbands, a niece, and Skip and I met for a birthday dinner at Macaroni Grill.

Saturday I enjoyed a wonderful birthday luncheon at JoAnn and Jennie's beautiful home. JoAnn and Jennie really carried out the "60/Over the Hill" theme, and I loved it!!
Beautiful (and delicious) Birthday Cake
My "special chair" complete with cane, heating pad, 60 signs, even a porta potty!!!

I wonder who gave me this gift!!
A very special group of friends (over 30 years together)
On Monday, my actual birthday, a dear friend brought me a card, a gift, and yes, my 3rd birthday cake!!
My sister who plays cello made me this big poster and had it up at orchestra practice on Monday evening.
Sunday School this morning and then off to the Bridal Fair for the afternoon!
I hope all of you have a wonderful Sunday!
Hugs to all,
Prissy
Recently at a Woman's Club meeting in Fort Worth, a lady who is 90, read the following. If you are starting to feel your age a little, I think you will enjoy it!!A very weird thing has happened. A strange old lady has moved into my house. I have no idea who she is, where she came from, or how she got in. I certainly did not invite her. All I know is that one day she wasn't there, and the next day she was. She is a clever old lady and manages to keep out of sight for the most part, but whenever I pass a mirror I catch a glimpse of her. And, whenever I look in the mirror to check my appearance, there she is hogging the whole thing, completely obliterating my gorgeous face and body. This is very rude!
I have tried screaming at her, but she just screams back. The least she could do is offer to pay part of the rent, but no. Every once in a while, I find a dollar bill stuck in a coat pocket, or some loose change under a sofa cushion, but it is not nearly enough. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think she is stealing money from me.
I go to the ATM and withdraw $100, and a few days later, it's all gone!
I certainly don't spend money THAT fast, so I can only conclude the old lady is pilfering from me. You'd think she would spend some of that money to buy wrinkle cream.
And money isn't the only thing I think she is stealing. Food seems to disappear at an alarming rate-especially the good stuff like ice cream, cookies and candy. She must have a real sweet tooth, but she'd better watch it, because she is really packing on the pounds. I suspect she realizes this, and to make herself feel better, she is tampering with my scale to make me think I am putting on weight too. For an old lady, she is quite childish. She likes to play nasty games, like going into my closets when I'm not home and altering my clothes so they don't fit.
And she messes with files and papers so I can't find anything. This is particularly annoying since I am extremely neat and organized.
She has found other imaginative ways to annoy me. She gets into my mail, newspapers and magazines before I do and blurs the print so I can't read it. And she has done something really sinister to the volume controls on my TV, radio and telephone. Now, all I hear are mumbles and whispers. She has done other things - like make my stairs steeper, my vacuum heavier and all the knobs and faucets harder to turn. She even made my bed higher so that getting into and out of it is a real challenge. Lately, she has been fooling with my groceries before I put them away, applying glue to the lids, making it almost impossible for me to open the jars.
She has taken the fun out of shopping for clothes. When I try something on, she stands in front of the dressing room mirror and monopolizes it.
She looks totally ridiculous in some of those outfits, plus she keeps me from seeing how great they look on me. Just when I thought she couldn't get any meaner, she proved me wrong. She came along when I went to get my picture taken for my driver's license and just as the camera shutter clicked, she jumped in front of me.
I hope she never finds out where you live.
I really do!
