Happy Birthday, Zina! I’m say that the following pictures were from your birthday in this order:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6.
Your fantasy birthday is a wonderful Nanny comes to your door first thing in the morning to take over the care of the children. Next, you and your hubby are whisked off to a private jet filled with beautiful flowers and lots of hot coffee and croissants. Afterwards, you two indulge in a big hot tub filled with bubbles. You next touch down on the Island of Saint Martin. You are immediately taken to the Orient Beach which is a nude beach. Your clothes are left on the plane, of course. You and hubby literally sun your buns for hours being careful to protect certain “pieces and parts” from too much sun. *giggle* After watching the sun go down, you and hubby will be taken back to your jet where you will once again hit the hot tub, only it’s much cooler so you can soothe your sunburn. Then, a sumptuous dinner is served to you with your choice of libations. You then slip into a wonderful sleep together on a huge king sized bed covered with mounds of down comforters. As you awake, the sun is coming in the windows of the plane and you land in your own yard filled with your children waiting on their “Birthday Mommy” and Dad.
Hope it was a great fantasy birthday!
Miss Connie, you have put a smile on my face today!

Never good at these things:
Contest: 2, 4, 9, 7, 8
Second Contest: 2, 4, 9, 8, 7
Contest three – You find out that friends and family pooled together to get you and your husband an all expense paid trip to Scotland. The hotel you would stay out is an honest-to-goodness castle. Luck is with you because they had something like a Ren faire going on which requires everyone to play a part. Your hubby dressed in a kilt and you got to dress up as his wench.
Love this one too.
Z
contest 1 – 2-3-5-7
contest 2 – 2-4-5-7
contest 3 – your husband comes home and tells you 1 that he bought a beach house on the beach and that you own it and 2 he also tells you that he won a trip around the world to very exotic locations and also that he will buy you 1 a dress of your choice with assorities and that he also ends your birthday with you get to either a sell your beach house on the beach to own a luxury condo that you can go to all year around or keep the beach house on the beach but i forgot to meantion the beach house was located in miami florida hapoy birthday angelwolfmystic@yahoo.com
Ha Michele…did you know that I’m afraid of alligators and you find them in Florida?? Oh and sharks… Two summers ago they tagged two great whites off the coast of RI or Maine or Mass, I think it was Mass. and when I was down in Georgia visiting Denny they had a news story about the two great whites they had been able to track down the coast and were now off the coast of Florida near I beach I was going to. That beach was picture #9 btw. I was like those sharks followed me down waiting to see if I wanted to re-enact Jaws!!!!!! But I would love to own some vaca property near the beach. A trip around the world would be wonderful, I would love to see all the wonderful places.

Contest 1: #2, #3, #4, #7.
Contest 2: #2, #4, #3, #7. (LOL! Looks like me and Mary D. are of a same mind on this one.)
Contest 3: While on a trip to Scotland, you find yourself meandering through an old castle and when you turn a corner, you find yourself back in time (pick your year). The good thing is you have a tooth brush, tooth paste, hair brush, and baby wipes in your bag, along with some other travel size items. It just so happens that you run into the medieval equivalent of your husband (himself in his previous life) who takes pity on you and helps you through your stay (say, just a weekend visit) where you get to meet and speak to someone from the past that you admire. You also get to see some sights that you have always dreamed of. You can fill in the blanks as to what may or may not happen with your equivalent medieval husband in his past life. The last day of your stay, you are walking to the great hall when you turn the corner and find yourself standing there with your husband in the now. He is kind of shaking his head and telling you that for some odd reason, he is feeling like he’s been here before. You just stand there and smile……
How’s that for a fantasy?
OH! I have a question but you can wait to answer until the contest is over. I was just curious if that first picture is a view from your property or from another location. If that is what you wake up to each morning, I am SO envious! LOL!
Ah, yes I will save that answer for friday.

Another good one, thank you Leah.

Contest #1 – Pictures 1, 2, 3, 4, 7.
Contest #2 – Pictures 1, 2, 4, 3, 7
Contest #3 – Fantasy Birthday. Start with dinner and a show in New York City. Fly to Ireland, spend a week in a cozy cottage on the the coast, then spend a month traveling the country seeing everything. Next it is on to England seeing all the sights you want to. That should take at least a month and a half. Then on to Scotland. Be certain to take several of the deluxe train rides, reserving the elegant car. Choose a Highland Castle and spend some down time. Don’t forget to attend the Edinborough Tattoo and spend a day on Loch Ness looking for Nessie. Make time to go to the outlying islands. Spend at least a month here and extend if you want. Make sure you enjoy all the wonderful music and food along the way.
This is a start. You will need to go home to recharge for a few months. Then you can decide which direction you want to go next. Asia, the Mediterranean, Australia & New Zealand, or the other continents.
You can certainly book my next trip with some help of the other ladies, thank you Pat.
Z
Contest #1: 2-3-4-7
Contest #2: 4-2-3-7
Contest #3: You are awakened with a tray for breakfast in bed (coffee, fresh squeezed OJ, croissants, fresh berries) (of course there has to be enough for all your little servers who will snatch bites); you dress in time to take the chauffered car to the spa for a massage, facial & mani/pedi. Now it’s time for lunch with a few girlfriends at a lovely restaurant with a view over the river (pleasant breeze so it’s not too warm); stop at a book store to use the $500 GC that was a gift; home for time with family where dinner is whatever you love (I would pick cheeseburgers on the grill cause summers almost over); a lovely cake; everyone else does the cleanup; kids all go to bed; You & Denny sit together on the porch or patio & watch the sun go down; the rest is rather private so we won’t go into details here.
Hope you have/had a Happy Birthday
I did and thank you for one of my favorites…berries!

#1: 1,4,7,6, 2
#2: 1,4,7,6, 2
#3: Fantasy birthday for you, because you are a giver and would want to involve all your family:
You won an all paid family trip to Disney, you would all spend the weekend at a great hotel, do all the theme parks and water parks. You would see the fireworks over Cinderella’s castle, and you would get to leave the kiddos with that place that watches your kids so you can go out as adults. You and Denny would have a night off, romantic dinner for two, a stroll on the beach, and…ah hem..yeah I will leave that to your ample imagination…or Denny’s. He might have some fun ideas =)
Hope your birthday was great and that you were able to count your many blessings!
Thank you for the wishes Miss Lexi, Denny does have a good imagination.

As to a dream vacation I am going to say a cruise around the world – hey it is a fantasy lol. You get to pick what countries you want to visit. The best part is you never have to move from hotel to hotel. You can venture out when you want or do an of the many onboard activities or choose to do nothing at all
