When I opened my eyes early this morning they landed on the words "Happy Birthday" which were laying on top of our mosquito net. I laughed and Jim was immediately awake. I think he didn't sleep since putting the words there shortly after midnight. Later when I was called to breakfast, extra people were there. In fact we numbered eleven around the table. Jim had invited everyone to a birthday breakfast for me. We ate granola and milk, eggs with yogurt and guacamole, bagels and lox, coffee, tea, cream and sugar. What a feast! And as we finished eating all of that, a lovely cake was set down in front of me. "Happy Birthday Alice" was written on top of the cake and there was a seven candle plus two individual ones to bring us to seventy-two. Lots of pictures were taken and a wonderful time was had by one and all. What a great way to turn old!
