What a wonderful 80th birthday! So many cards: some were pretty, funny or musical from dear friends and my wonderful family. I loved them all and the letters were great. Granddaughter Misty showered me with all kinds of memorable ones, Jaxon Kallin sent me $5, Gaby and Hodge sent $3, and a card from David. The phone calls were nice to visit with each one, and all the ones who stopped for a visit, especially Grandson, Chad. On Sunday my four kids took me to a pizza buffet: WOW! And then a trip to the lake for a nice visit, it was the BEST day ever! Thanks again to everyone, God Bless, Doris Chambers
