Birthday greeting from SURVIVOR's Jeff Probst

I watched the season premiere of "Survivor: Blood vs Water" last night.  I never miss a season and it was an excellent premiere.  Great new twists and definitely having loved ones in the mix is going to make for new challenges in terms of scheming and alliances.

Watching reminded me I never shared a piece of my 50th birthday celebration that is tied to being a fan of "Survivor" since it began.  And it's pretty fab.

Back in July, I celebrated my 50th birthday with a surprise bowling party and a small group of longtime friends. (p.s. PERFECT birthday party!)

My husband somehow arranged for this 50th birthday greeting from the fab Jeff Probst of the hit TV show "Survivor."

And on top of it all, he's ON LOCATION with "Survivor" when he taped the greeting.

This was just one of many amazing greetings Michael collected from people who participated in my first 50 years. It was a great birthday gift :)
