Technically, this was taken in 1958, during my first birthday party.
I was never much of a party girl, unless butter cream frosting or booze were involved.
Then, all bets were off.
But if anyone knows the dangers of too much of a good thing, it’s me.
Nope. No fancy parties for me, today. Just a simple dinner with my family. I don’t need to go looking for trouble. It seems to find me without breaking a sweat.
I feel older…at least by a day. Do I look it?

We must be twins! Separated at birth–now there’s a story for you to write!! 🙂
Nov 19, 2013 @ 13:55:10
Thanks so much! It was very happy, indeed! 🙂
Nov 19, 2013 @ 13:54:41
You assume correctly, Nick! I went out for Thai food–no dessert. Just plain herbal tea. I’ve had enough of both of those indulgences (booze and sugar) in my early years to carry me through the rest of my life (and then some!). 🙂
Thanks so much for popping in and commenting. I love to see new voices around here! 🙂

I wrote a memoir that explains everything. I’ve had more than my fair share of crazy things happen to me for several lifetimes! 😉
Thanks for stopping by and asking! 🙂

Your closing lines intrigue. So what do you ascribe this propensity to attract trouble at your age and stage in life?

I assume then that this was a dinner so simple that no butter cream frosting or booze was involved? Perhaps there were other treats for your quivering taste buds? Or did you give your overworked taste buds the day off?

Happy Birthday, Ms Scorpilicious!! Looking good xx

Oh no. I missed your Birthday post. I hope you had a lovely day, and you look really good for your age and a good few years younger, so you must be doing something right. Happy Birthday again 🙂

Oh man!!! I missed your birthday celebration! I feel like such a dunce. Happy Birthday Lorna.
OK, well a birthday song is in order:
Nov 15, 2013 @ 14:49:53
No cake! I will make you a sugar free vegan cake right now!
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:54:01
You sweet-talker, you! 😉
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:53:40
Same hair, though. How did that happen? 😉 Thanks, Gerry! 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:53:01
Thank you so much for the well-wishes, compliment, and for taking the time to pop in and comment! Very sweet of you… 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:51:29
It was a great year, indeed! And thanks for the lovely rendition of the Birthday song. No one sang it to me on my birthday (I suppose because I didn’t have a cake). 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:50:02
Loyal and wise. You are quite a catch, my best bud, Al! 😉
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:49:04
I love you. 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:48:34
Back at you, Dahlin’! 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:48:05
Thanks so much! 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:47:48
I did! Thanks for the well-wishes. I truly appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness.
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:46:50
Thanks, Ruth! It was a blissfully quiet day with just Mom, Tina, and Alex. Lisa was in CT but we had a nice chat on the phone. Perfect! 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:45:42
Ah, a kindred Scorpio! Happy Birthday to you! Isn’t November a GREAT month?! 🙂
And if you have great family and friends, you have more riches than the wealthiest person who is isolated and wonders if people love him/her for the money. 😉
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:38:56
Thanks so much! No matter what befalls me, I can truly say that I am one lucky person. Always have been, am now, and I don’t expect the trend to stop. 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:37:32
Well, I don’t do cake any more…how about a healthy pumpkin smoothie instead? 😉
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:36:40
We always seem to agree on the important things, Elyse! 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:36:00
Thanks so much, lovely lady! 🙂
Nov 15, 2013 @ 11:35:40
Sure did! Thanks–and no pinatas got hurt! 😉
Nov 15, 2013 @ 08:51:01
Hope you had a nice birthday. You deserve it!
Nov 15, 2013 @ 05:58:49
Happy birthday lovely lady.
Nov 14, 2013 @ 21:41:09
Happy birthday, Lorna. All the best bloggers were born in ’57. It was a very good year. Especially for me!
Nov 14, 2013 @ 19:32:45
Happy Birthday!!! Have some cake for me.
Nov 14, 2013 @ 18:44:42
Happy Birthday you adorable you, then and now. Hope you had and continue to have great days ever day. xoxox
Nov 14, 2013 @ 18:25:34
Happy birthday, Lorna! This is kind of amazing in some ways, I am not telling anyone on my posts but tomorrow I will be 58 years old. So, I am 2 years and one less day older than you! I was born 11/15/55! You know I would love some vanilla butter cream frosting, skip any cake and get to the good stuff!
Always thought those digits would bring me luck… haha! No wealth, love or any other landmark fame and fortune. But I have good family and great friends like you!
Thanks for sharing your personal story about JFK… I will not make this comments’ section get too serious so just saying Thanks!
Nov 14, 2013 @ 17:41:53
Happy birthday Lorna and may your celebrating be the quiet kind that blesses you<3 Love you!
Nov 14, 2013 @ 15:27:25
Happy Birthday. Lorna enjoy your special day with Family and friends.
Nov 14, 2013 @ 15:25:08
Happy Birthday !
Nov 14, 2013 @ 15:12:47
Happy Happy Bday. Love you. Cyber-sis. 🙂
Nov 14, 2013 @ 15:06:43
Happy birthday. And you don’t look any older than you did last year. 😉
Nov 14, 2013 @ 14:55:51
Many happy returns to my best bud, Lorna.
As for the last question, 45 years of marriage compel me to say there is no correct answer to that, only great peril.
Nov 14, 2013 @ 14:40:03
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Lorna, happy birthday to you! And guess what, you were born the same year as my man, Neil – I always knew it was a good year! 🙂
Nov 14, 2013 @ 13:56:41
Hey Happy birthday…..May you have a great life ahead 🙂 That was such a fun to read. You still look gorgeous so no worries 😉
Nov 14, 2013 @ 13:47:28
Have a great day Lorna, and you havent changed a bit,, well maybe a tad bit you have a thinner face now… all the best. 😉
Nov 14, 2013 @ 13:26:21
Happy Birthday, you don’t look a day over 42.
