Too Long No Blog!!!

Dortha & Her Wonderful Family

What a week we have had!!!! I didn't realize how much was involved in turning 80!!! I thought it would just be another day but that is not what happened. I cannot begin to relate all the special things my family did to make the day special, in fact we had not only a special day but a special week. Family members began arriving on Wed. August 20 and most stayed until Wed. August 27. Our special, special day was on Saturday but I do believe each of the 8 days were special in their own way. We had a "family reunion" to be sure. It all seems like a dream until I look around and see the deluge of cards and gifts and read and re-read the kind words and thoughts that were written and presented to me. I feel so undeserving of the love and effort that was very evident in each one. Also I am touched by the fact that so many traveled long distances to be here. It meant so much to have each of you here. Next time I will post a picture of the beautiful TV and stand that was a gift from my family. I might even let you watch it sometime!!!!

Thanks to all for making my day so memorable.

I love you,
Dortha
