Fifty years is not that long. But pretty long. Worthy of notice. My mother isn't coming to visit until the new year, and I don't really feel like going anywhere "special" - Thanksgiving weekend isn't the easiest travel weekend, and where I am is special enough. I'm planning to take the whole weekend off, so I don't need to take my birthday off; I'd much rather do what I love to do the most - teach my morning community yoga class. Make jokes about the benefits of child's pose for hiding from weird relatives, and wind relieving pose for the morning after the feast. The usual.

I thought about a party at my place, but it's an Airstream Trailer. That's a pretty tiny party for such a grand occasion. So it's potluck luncheon for the whole town instead, and an awesome do-gooder opportunity. I don't need presents. I live in a tiny space. In fact, I thought, I've got 8 chairs cluttering up the storage room that I might never use again, and one of the most fun things I've done for charity so far was paint a chair for the Arts from the Heart Chair Auction. (I did a high chair in Jackson Pollack style splashes and dribbles.)

That's where it started. My 8 chairs have gone out into the world, and are coming back transformed into one-of-a-kind treasures. And on my birthday we'll auction them off. We'll have a light lunch and a piece of birthday cake before the holiday, and it'll be fun and sweet. The idea got bigger fast. Regulars in the community class include volunteers for other great places in town, and a big rain on Halloween wiped out a local farm I care about. There is always something to do. Why not have a party around it?

What a nice cake! I like it so much! Happy Birthday to you!!! This is very interesting when your birthday is on the date where official holiday take place. This is a special day for everybody as well as even more special for you and your close people. Also usually it's a day off and you can do whatever you want.
