er… I mean indigenous people’s day! When I was in grade school, we always had this day off from school – not a random Monday! This was special to me because
there was always a school holiday for my birthday.
I just realized that I must update my profile and I am getting awfully close to 70 ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äù why don’t I feel like I am that old?
Later today Mark and Jayme are arriving. Mark is going to transform our front landscaping. Tomorrow, while he and Mr C are working, Jayme, Steph, M & M and I are going to Sauvie Island to partake of the annual pumpkin activities. M & M have no school tomorrow. Tomorrow night, M & M are staying overnight because their Mom and Dad are going to a concert. Then, finally, on Saturday, we will celebrate my birthday.
I love a party. There have been times in my life when I had so many different groups of people that I dealt with that I have had 3 or 4 birthday parties. These days, I am lucky to get one!!
What a lovely picture! I’m a day late with my birthday wishes, but happy birthday anyway – hope you’ll have a great party on Saturday!
Happy Birthday, yesterday! And what a cute baby photo!

Happy birthday! What a cute baby pic…maybe that needs to work its way into a quilt?!
Happy Birthday to You! Gerrie, I wish you the best on your special day. Perhaps you could share how you have become so wise, beautiful, and artistic. To carry on with the beautiful baby theme … baby look at you now!
Cheers to you!
Jeannie in Richland, Wa.
(P.S. Thanks for mentioning Fibers in Motion – I had a great time there on my way home from the beach!)

Have a very happy birthday! Enjoy your party (even if there is only one)! 😉
Happy birthday! Stretch out the celebration as long as you can, that’s what I always say. Here’s to a fabulous upcoming year for you and all your family.
Happy Birthday to You!!!
Am a sporadic lurker of you and your daughters, and am originally from Watertown, NY. Love all your sites for different reasons, and your similarities to my sis, Mom & me.
Enjoy your day w/ gusto!
Happy Birthday! You are a F-O-R-C-E and we all love you for it. Have a few wonderful, celebratory days.
I’m a reader of your daughters blogs and just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. You seem to be a wonderful (grand)mother.
Have a nice party all together!
Happy Birthday. Your picture is beautiful!
Happy birthday! Seventy-schmeventy! One of my favorite quotes: Age is all about mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
You seem to me like someone who doesn’t pay much attention to the numbers, but gets out there and LIVES! Here’s to many more birthdays – I’ll be having a piece of cake for you!
Happy Birthday, Gerrie!!
That photo is adorable and it really looks like you!
oh my, i’m late…but happy birthday to ya! and have a great time celebrating the day you were born and changed the course of the universe!!!!!!!!!!!! and girl, you make almost 70 look damn good! keep strutting your stuff!
Happy Birthday!! you’re not getting older……you’re getting better. Have a wonderful birthday and fun day at Sauvie Island. I’m going to Pacific International in Santa Clara tomorrow so I’m looking forward to a fun day too.
Happy Birthday! Do you realize you look just the same 68 years later? Taller, of course . . .! Enjoy your day!
Happy Birthday!! I’m just a few years behind you. Love the baby pic….what a cutie! Great smile!
What a beautiful smile! I like it that you still look like your baby picture. I think that it’s good that you don’t feel your age. My in-laws are 75, and have acted that age for the entire 21 years I’ve known them, even though they are in great health & comfortable circumstances.
Happy Birthday from an east coast admirer of your work…many happy returns of the day to a beautiful lady.

Happy Happy Birthday Baby…if you can name that song you’re as old as me…..Hope you have a wonderful day and a great celebration.
Happy Birthday. Gerrie!
