Today is The Big Bash Birthday Party...the last of the 75th Birthday Celebrations for this OldOldLady Of The Hills....This is 'the big one' and it will take place between 3pm and 7pm and there will be food and fun and frivolity and favorite people galore....!
My dear gardener really worked hard to get the garden and the walkways clean & safe...everything looks all spiffed up and now I just need to get some sleep and in the morning I will be raring to go so I can take care of all the last minute things that one can only do "on-the-day-of"...I am so very happy because a number of people that I don't see very often but who are old old friends and who have lived through all sorts of things with me and me with them for many many years, will be here...!Lucky me!Lucky Me! I'm thrilled at the prospect of seeing them later today.
And of course, the 'usual suspects' will be here, too...those sweet dears who were all here on Tuesday, plus some more dear ones as well....!
Some of these people you have heard me speak of...and some you have not...I hope to take lots of pictures of everyone and pray that they are good photographs...So for now, that's it my dears. I'll post again when I recover...(lol). Hope you all will have a lovely lovely weekend and in case I forget to tell you this again, have a Very Very Happy July 4th, and drive safe, please....More will be forthcoming.....

Congratulations on commencement of your fourth quarter century!
How wonderful it will be to look out over your deck any night and do an instant replay of last night's party! That's the ultimate anti-depressant.
The parties may be over, but I still have your two birthday presents, awaiting the return of my computer guru who will explain how to send them. Of course, if all else fails, there's always snail mail.
Rest up, take it easy, and have a glorious 4th of July!!!- Sunday, July 2, 2006 at 9:16:00 AM PDT

Oh Naomi I am so glad to see that other than Blogger can post again so I can comment too!
I was also delighted to see 249 comments on your birthday! The party was a huge, huge success huh?
Hope you are feeling okay today after all the celebration....need any aspirin? lol.
Happy Belated Birthday Girlfriend! Looks like one of the grandest I've ever seen! And you deserved it all!
Enjoy your 4th too!!!!- Sunday, July 2, 2006 at 1:02:00 PM PDT

Naomi, Your birthday wavelength is getting so strong that I went to LA and visited you last night in a dream! I didn't tell you who I was until the end of the dream and it felt very real. I got to look out from your porch onto the city.
Our lives are paralleling somewhat. While you are getting ready for your party, I'm getting ready for my son to get married. Lots of company coming!- Sunday, July 2, 2006 at 6:28:00 PM PDT

I wish I knew your secret to building community. How DO you make it so that your orbit includes so many wonderfully talented people who all admire and respect you for being at the center of it all?
Don't mind while I watch and learn from someone who has raised giving and sharing to a high art. And if I learn well, I'll try to pass it on to the three little people who sorta look like me (poor things!)- Sunday, July 2, 2006 at 8:19:00 PM PDT

Wow, I had no idea this birthday was an ongoing event. Good for you! I sure look forward to more pics! Hope your weekend was wonderfully happy. :)
