"The day which we fear as our last is but the birthday of eternity"
Seneca
Today I am 62! Some people say they don't like birthdays, I say to consider the alternative! I'm not sure when we will celebrate, tonight I want to get ashes on my forehead with Phil and my friend at her Lutheran church. That makes me feel rather newborn! Perhaps I can get out of cooking tonight, and we will celebrate more fully on the weekend. So for those of you who don't know me yet, here are some pictures. Does anyone remember pinafores? And get that attempt to tease my hair at age 13! Yes, I even have a bow clipped on the side! As a child, I had a diary with a little lock and key. As a young adult, I kept a journal for a few years, but I don't need to anymore, it's already all written down from beginning to end.
"For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139: 13,16

Happy Birthday Ginny!! My husbands is the end of this month.
I loved the photos you shared tonight- so precious and the verse is a favorite. Wishing you the best time..whatever you decide!! Oh, I enjoyed that quote too!(hugs)
Happy birthday to Ginny. I hope you always healthy. Also I wish you remain a good paragon for many people, and your life more useful for many people. GBU!
One thing that makes me wonder. You still look beautiful throughout your life! Share your 'recipes' to us, please.
What beautiful pictures. I love what you said about keeping a journal. You are right it is all written down in God's book. I hope you have a very very happy birthday. And, take the entire weekend to celebrate. Birthdays are a treat!
Happy birthday!!!!! I love seeing your photos. Love that teased hair with the bow and those pearls. My favorite is of you in the coat. I remember one just like it with a little velvet collar. It was my Sunday coat. Celebrate and post al!!!!!
You header is a great photo of you and Phil.

Happy Birthday, Ginny!! What sweet pictures of you!
I hope you have a fabulous day!
*hugs*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINNY! Thanks for posting the pictures of you at various ages. No wonder Phil was/is attracted to you. May the Lord Bless you on this special day and give you many happy returns.
i am so glad you posted these photos. i am laughing. i have one of me in a pinafore JUST like yours and the one with the sweater and beads i have one JUST like yours. if i can find them will send them. we could be peas in a pod. the first 3 years of school, i had 5 dresses like the one you have on, pinafores were big. granddaddy took me shopping and bought 5 dresses for school each year but he died before i went in 4th grade and that stopped. this helps me know more about you.
hugs and birthday blessings

Happy, Happy Birthday, Ginny! I love your photos...and you loved your pretty dresses. All your photos looked eerily like mine - do you think it's 'cuz we're about the same age? I had a coat almost identical.

Happy Birthday, Ginny! Loved seeing the childhood pictures. That one with the hairdo and the pearls is just soo 60s... I'm a few years younger than you but I too was 13 in the 60s...
I was just reading in Philippians this morning about Paul not knowing which he preferred...to live and serve or to die and finally be face to face. I look forward to face to face with my Father so much.
Happy Birthday....may your celebration drag out for a few days. Celebrating the wondrous you that God created.
And I'm LOVING the 13 year old hair...lol
Happy Birthday to you

May your day be filled with Joy and Happiness....

Thank you for sharing your beautiful life through pictures!
A very, very, very happy birthday... !!!
Yes, I am one who hates birthdays... but, when you think of the alternative.. I guess they will do for now.
Have a blessed birthday...however you celebrate it.
Happy Birthday to you Ginny. From the photos you posted here. You may not be getting any younger just like the rest of us but I am sure that you are getting wiser. Wishing you more blessings, happiness and good health.

Happy Birthday.
I don't have a Himalayan lamp. My husband is a skeptic, so I don't bother looking at it carefully.
Belated Happy Birthday, Ginny!! Hope you had a very special day! I loved seeing your pictures - and the Scripture that is very personal to each of us!
Happy belated birthday Ginny! So sorry I missed the day --I have been trying to catch up with life at home since returning from my trip.
I have a photo with almost the same coat you are waering as a child ...we could be sisters, as we look alike!
