That Orchid on the Piano near the Balloons was given to me by my Gardener, Seven.....It is absolutely Gorgeous!
Well, here is a picture Garrett emailed me the other day----this is the Beautiful Maddy now!

Oh I've been waiting to see your birthday celebration photos! Love the 84 t-shirt you are wearing! There seem to be quite a few new faces at your birthday bash this year or am I just going mad?
I also love the view out of your windows. What an amazing view. I don't think I've seen night time shots before. Or dusk shots.
It must be good that someone else was taking all the photos for you too, I would imagine it means you can relax a bit more.
I look forward to seeing more photos of you and all your wonderful friends!- Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 9:35:00 AM PDT

Oh Naomi, you always have the best parties. So glad you had such wonderful friends to share your day with you. We have gotten to recognize most of them through you.
So glad you had the picture of Earl. I kind of had a crush on him when I was younger. He is still handsome.
Belated Happy Birthday my friend. Looking forward to "more".- Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 2:55:00 PM PDT

How wonderful to hear about your birthday celebration spent with valued, good friends, Naomi. There's nothing quite like the friends we have for so many years...they're the true friends, I believe...they are the ones who know who we are...and love us for who we are...warts and all...and vice versa. :)
I'm glad you had a great birthday. And, wow! Earl Holliman...I used to love him in movies...he always had something mischievous about him, playful, harmless mischievousness. He still is a fine-looking man, too.
Thanks for sharing your day and your friends with us, Naomi...take good care of yourself....hugs. :)- Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 5:16:00 PM PDT

What a wonderful life to have so many friends for such a long time. They all look so happy, and you're right, Mr. Holliman is still handsome. I don't remember if I realized it before and forgot it, but just now I realized why Bridget Hanley looked so familiar. I remember her from "Here Come the Brides." I love that show. Glad you had a lovely birthday dinner surrounded by friends.

It's lovely to catch up like this!
Best wishes and looking forward to "More to come"!- Thursday, July 23, 2015 at 6:05:00 AM PDT

Wow! Maddy looks gorgeous! I remember well when she was a beautiful little kid. Yes, I have watched lovely Maddy grow up.
What a beautiful and amazing view to LA from your veranda and windows.
Your house is always so beautiful and so charming!

So sorry to be late commenting! And what a wonderful gathering of your friends. Your view is gorgeous!
I remember Annie from The Dick Van Dyke show! That's awesome that you are friends. And Earl Holliman - of course I remember him, but mostly from Gunsmoke - my late father's favorite show. So course, we all watched it.
I'm so glad to see you pictures and delighted you had such a nice gathering.
Hugs!- Monday, July 27, 2015 at 9:16:00 AM PDT

Everyone looks great! I'm thrilled that you were surrounded by friends for your birthday. Maddy's looks stunning, all grown up. I look for her. I remember Annie's character Millie on the DVD show and I see Earl Holliman in so many things, a cowboy most recently on some older show. Happy Birthday Well Wishes to you!

Your party looks marvellous! So important to be surrounded by good friends and neighbours on your special day. I love your 84 T-shirt, you look lovely in blue but I think you must have the number wrong as you certainly don't look 84 years old! I'm so glad you had a lovely gathering, and I'm looking forward to seeing more photos.

A real star studded party. Lovely to see your old friends obviously having a ball and you looking vibrant in blue.
Such a lovely room for entertaining and even prettier when the lights come on.
So glad to see you surrounded by loving friends.- Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 9:01:00 AM PDT

Happpy belated birthday. I haven't been around the blogs much; so glad when I got here to see good news and the lovely photos. Those flowers in the other blog were just gorgeous. Glad you have such wonderful friends and yes, Earl Holliman is still a hunk :)

Happy belated birthday Naomi. I have not blogged since December 2014 so just thought I would check on yours on the off chance that you have posted. What a lovely surprise. I do love your parties and what fabulous guests and wonderful photos. You look great. You really do. And I agree with you and everyone else - Earl Holliman still has IT. As for Maddie - wowza, what a gorgeous young woman. Its all in the genes clearly!. Now off to read part two of your celebrations. xx

How wonderful to have such dear old friends gathering for your birthday celebration. I cannot believe you are in your 80s! You really look fantastic. I love that first pic of you! Your eyes speak in that photo. I'm enjoying all the stories and background info. I feel like I know these people, I see them through the years as you share these moments and they seem so familiar to me. Thanks for sharing all the memories and stories of long-lasting friendships. It makes life so much sweeter to have these people around, especially for special celebrations. Can't wait to see and read more! Hugs and all the best...Ily xo

Well, first of all, you look marvelous! I think they got the numbers reversed on your birthday shirt! And that view is to die for!
It's fun to see your party and OK, I'll say I'm a little starstruck by your guest list. But what I love most about this is that people I have admired for years are, by the nature of being your longtime good friends, must indeed be wonderful people, wonderful human beings and individuals for I don't think you'd "allow" anything else. I've especially followed Anne M.G's career since my favorite Dick Van Dyke show and I'm especially pleased to find she is a dear friend and therefore by association, a lovely person. And it warms my heart that Betty's family is still right there with you!
What a glorious way to celebrate a birthday!- Wednesday, August 26, 2015 at 6:14:00 AM PDT
