Only a number....

So it is said that a birthday is only a number... well... Today, I agree it's all about how you look at those numbers....

One incredible sunrise....



Two magical visits....

Three precious calls from my boys...

Four thoughtful text messages....

One entertaining video message....

Twelve beautiful red roses....


Eight well wishes via e-mail...

Four cards via snail mail...

One decedent glass of wine...

Two handfuls of dark chocolate peanut m&m's...

One loving hug and kiss from my mom...

Forty-seven trips around the sun...

Happy 47th Birthday! September 22 must be one special day in the blogosphere. Yours is the third birthday I'm discovering.. and it's still early morning. :) And you're also the youngest among them. ;) Hope your day is wonderful.

You got my roses! Put 'em in a vase and hang 'em on that sliver of a moon for all of us to see.

"...47 bottles of beer on the wall...47 bottles of beer...take one down..pass it 'round...47 bottles of beer on the wall..."

Welcome to the 47 club DF.

Thank you Hillary... but my birthday was yesterday... September 21st!!!

As for YOU 46!!!! You got mentioned.... "entertaining video message" but alas, the roses were NOT from you!!! :P But I do like the visual of hanging them from the moon for all to see... they are lovely.

Hey 46... I know I didn't put a photo of the whole vase full on there... but there is at least a close up of one of the roses... did you miss it? Drinking more of the beer than passing? Or just drinking my share since you know I can't stand the stuff?
