"When I'm 64"...

 Let me begin with telling my age...now most women would never tell this but I am proud of the many years I have lived.  So when my husband gave my daughter a theme for my upcoming birthday just a few weeks ago she ran with it.  "When I'm 64" by the Beatles.  We drove to Southern California to visit with family and friends and to see my daughters new home she has worked very hard to achieve.
Here we are greeted with "Penny Lane".  Yes the penny is a 1948...the year of my birth.
 

 These photos are out of sync but photos were not the most important part of the night.  This is "Strawberry Fields Forever".  She also had a dish of sliced apples because the Beatles were on Apple record label for a while.  No photo but there was a lovely orange yard sculpture to represent "Here Comes the Sun".  Another photo I am missing is "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" tribute.  She printed my favorite Lucille Ball and had her surrounded with diamond playing cards.  The amount of effort and detail was so much fun and truly added the finishing touches on my surprise party.
 

Here I am totally happy.  The little bear that is sitting next to me is an eBay purchase by my daughter.  He actually sings "When I'm 64".  Super cute! Yes, you do see Tinkerbell in the photo.  She wanted to attend my party too as I am Grandma Tink and my granddaughters know how I adore her.
  

 This is part of the family.  They are watching crazy me open my gifts.  Amber and Amy are my lovely granddaughters who helped me celebrate.

You knew "Yellow Submarine" would be a part of this party.  I am blown away by the amount of work that Dan (my daughter's long time boyfriend) put into this amazing feat of cleverness.  He printed a photo of the original version and then created an excellent version...four times over.  Of course we had way too much food but if you know our family we always overdo the food.

The cake was embellished with the Beatles record too.

Here is a lovely photo of my daughter, Jenifer Michelle (Shelby) with Wayne.  We took a drive to Dana Point and enjoyed walking around and looking at the boats.  The weather was perfect!

Here I am with my lovely daughter.  I am so thankful for the special woman she is and that she is so good to me.  Thank you my dear Shelby.

After a great dinner at The Beach House in Laguna Beach treated to us by my dear husband we ventured over to the Pageant of the Masters.  In all the years I lived in So Cal I never attended this event.  My mother went many times and always told me I must go because of how much I would enjoy it yet I never went.
All I can say is WOW!  Thank you again Shelby for treating Wayne and I to this amazing event.  I will always remember how very special this night was.
We had a wonderful visit.  Your "Bed and Breakfast" was comfortable and lacked nothing.  Service was excellent and the food was wonderful.  Thank you for taking such good care of us sweetheart.  Thank you for putting on such a wonderful memorable birthday party.  Now I am 64.  Life is good.
