Well, much to our dismay, and the dismay of everyone who called and/or sent flowers or greetings, Estelle slept through her birthday.
Dan took a few hours off work so that we could get to Woodbine early and spend the late afternoon/evening with her but she was having none of it. We tried to wake her when we arrived around 4:30PM, turned on the lights, moved furniture, shouted, shook her, etc., but she would not budge. We arranged all of her lovely flowers and assembled all of her birthday cards but to no avail. We finally decided we'd go down the street and get some dinner and return but even that did not work. Upon our return an hour later she was still sound asleep and we were unable to wake her. We did, however, succeed in waking her roommate who didn't seem to happy with our efforts.
We will return on Saturday and, hopefully, we can have a belated celebration.
Thanks to everyone who sent flowers and cards. The flowers are all just lovely and the whole room smells delightful. Also a big thank you to everyone who called - Viv, Meryl, Marlene, Michelle and Muriel. We're very sorry that we could not wake her enough to hear your voices.
