Lucky!


I just want to say that I had one of the best birthdays ever! I heard from more friends this year than any year I can remember in the past. Thanks everyone! And I literally haven't cooked since Saturday night. I was treated to dinner on Sunday night, lunch on Monday, dinner on Tuesday, and dinner again on Wednesday night. Michael stopped in for two nights on his way from Texas to Nevada and treated us to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. It's a great moment when your child picks up the tab! :) Craig picked out the card above because the dog looks like Saby would have as a puppy. (We adopted her at age seven.) And I enjoyed all my birthday cards and gifts!



You know I love cake! The cake above was a gift from a friend. There's a little story about the bee on that cake. Only God knows what gets into kids' heads! When we were in early grade school (first grade?), we made a game out of sitting on bees on the way home from school. When done properly, the skirt is tucked underneath the bottom and legs to guard against stings, but Jenny forgot to tuck and ended up stung! Ha! I think our bee-sitting ended that day?

Anyway, I'm a lucky girl to have such great friends and family! Besos to everyone!

Here's one of my favorite songs.

Happy Double Nickel!

Well, it's a big one for me today. The double nickel. So I thought I'd wish myself a Happy Birthday and take the day off!




I saw a good quote from Mark Twain on a bulletin board at the gym the other day that makes a great birthday mantra!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I'm off to explore and discover (my cake)! :)
