About my 60 years birthday 2005

 
Now I will tell you how it is to celebrate a 50 or 60 years birthday. I

To celebrate 50 or 60 is a big thing. Then we use to give a big party. Friends, co-workers and relatives can come and visit and wish a happy birthday.  Then you get presents, cards, letters and flowers from people. But of course there are people who do not want to celebrate this. Then they can put an advertise or tell that they do not want to be celebrated. And then people have to respect this.

I celebrated my birthday on several days.

I don't show pictures of the people who were on my party. Because this site is public. You have to ask if you may put people on the web. Not everyone want to be in public on the web. But I can show my dog visitors. :-)

This is Nilla she and her mom visited me after my birthday. At that time Cassie was not born yet. And Nilla looked much younger.
