Does anyone remember that song??? No? Okay. It’s from the 1950’s (I think) and the actual lyrics are: It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want, sigh if I want to, die if I want to; you would cry too if it happened to you, wah, wah, wah, wah!
I’m now officially sixty. I do not know why I think this is so exciting, except…
I’m finally a grandmother.
None of my adult children live with me.
Banjo Man is still my boyfriend.
I own cowboy boots.
I am in a band. We are going to bluegrass camp.
I love my fiddle.
I am looking forward to loving my cranky lap steel guitar, if it would ever stay tuned.
I love the lake.
And my family.
And my very, very, very special friends.
Dancing Mandolin Player gave me the best birthday party ever. I posted all the photos in a separate page (at the top of the site, below the big photo of the lake). I felt so lucky, in so many ways. Check out the fresh berries (from DMP’s garden) on the homemade cheesecake. Sigh.
Pat and Sharon surprised me with a cake at last Sunday’s Writers Day at the clubhouse.
I served myself and then took a picture. It had pineapple cream filling. Let me say that again: pineapple cream filling!
It’s my party and I’ll eat if I want to.







Welcome to the crowd! It’s way more fun to be in the over sixty crowd. The youngsters have no idea. Your birthday cake looks delicious!
Happy, Happy Birthday!!!!! Miss you!
Oh, Hey! Happy Happy Birthday wonderful, fun, talented lady!
Happy Birthday! I love your attitude. You are my hero!
FYI….It was Lesley Gore who sang that song, along with other hits: It’s Judy’s Turn to Cry–a follow up to It’s My Party and You Don’t Own Me.
Happy Birthday Kristine !!!!
