I, too, am very reluctant to ask for help. My sons, especially the younger one, are always ready to help, but I don't ask them unless they ask me if I need this or that to be taken care of.
I hope your daughter heals and feels a lot better so you won't have to worry so much. I can see how difficult it is to be a parent especially in your case. Hang in there!
I like the idea that some of the proceeds go to charities. I wish that happened here but Nevada doesn't participate in the lotteries available. I think it has a lot to do with the casino's not wanting any competition.
It’s a funny thing about my birthday. For 28 years I celebrated this day in Mid-Summer. July is usually the warmest month in England. The opportunities to celebrate outdoors were endless. A lovely summer evening celebration in a country pub’s garden, maybe down by the river was a perfect place to raise a glass or two.
However, now I celebrate my birthday in mid winter in Australia. July is definitely the wettest and coldest of all the months. In fact Christmas in July is a thing here. Folks trim the tree, light the fire and cook a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. So maybe that is an option for me as a birthday outing.
What usually happens though is my family including the great grandchildren have lunch somewhere and I get spoiled with gifts I don’t really need.
