I am, I guess, one of a rare breed.....I am absolutely ecstatic with retirement....to be able to devote 100% of my time to my babies, is EXACTLY what I had anticipated for the last 5 years! My brother is here for ths week, and we are having a ball, doing whatever we want, when we want, as early or as late as we want! My son and my brother had a small birthday for me....it was lovely!! I ended up with 100.00 in gift cards to Lowes, which is my favorite place to shop! I also got a beautiful pair of "diamond and pearl" tear drop earrings from my son, as an early Mother's Day gift......I bought myself a new 60 inch flat screen TV for my sun room, as my old one had become a fire hazard!...a great time has been had by all!!! My brother hooked up this fancy TV and I am so thankful for that, as I could have never done it myself. We are going to a German Bier Garten that has received rave reviews in many magazines and "places to visit"...they have an "Om-PaPa" trio that plays polka music and German and Austrian music....I ADORE this and my brother enjoys some of the speciality beers they have on tap.....While I dont drink beer, I will enjoy the music and dancing!....

Happy Birthday!!!

It sounds as if you had a wonderful birthday party and are still partying - especially the jewelry and your big TV!!! I will be getting another big screen in the next year and Mitsubishi no longer makes TV's. Would you share the brand you got and can you adjust the color and tint settings endlessly, tuning in each color and each shade to the saturation?
