My Life Story-First Sixty Years

I have been trying make the blog of my life story into a hard bound book. I started it as a blog, taking it from a hard copy with pictures to the blog in January of 2009. I have it almost finished but have some format questions that I have wait until Monday to ask. Customer service is only open Monday through Friday. It has been quite an exciting adventure to say the least.
I'm hoping to have it done by Monday and order it so it will arrive by mail before the 13th. My big party is that night. There will be a voice student of mine and a piano student performing. My friend Bev Anderson will do a belly dance candle dance with her husband on the drum. My friend Cindy Miller will read a poem about friendship. I'm sure there will be other surprises that I don't know about.
My friends Bev and Cindy and I have been putting together a scrapbook of the many pictures we have taken through the years. We had an annual friend's pilgrimage we would take each year. We visited the tulip fields every April during the Tulip Festival. Some years we missed, but most years we went. We will make copies of the scrapbook so all of us will keep that memory through pictures.
All I can say is that I've never had a big, big birthday party like this ever in my life. When I was growing up we didn't have big birthday parties with friends. So this will be a night that I will treasure for a long time.

It was so great to be there--I'm so glad I didn't miss it. You are a good friend and example to me, Julie.
