It is my personal (ah hem) opinion that anyone over 11 years should not "celebrate" birthdays with a party. Of course, there are exceptions. A woman of a certain age can, however, enjoy good wishes sent by others.
And boy-oh-boy, did I love the cards and phone calls checking in. Thank you friends and family, for the sweet remembrances. Here are a couple of cards to bring out your smiles in this last week of January.
(cause we cool chicks gotta stick together)
And one from my friend Sharon that said "I think of you...and give thanks" Ephesians 1:16. And one from SIL with a little buck toothed dog on it, just like our Libby Sweetpea!
Some pretty silk scarves my daughter sent me:
And a beautiful bouquet of flowers from SIL and brother:
Don't you love it when somebody makes you something?
A pin cushion with heart pins!! The poppy is felted and the leaves and poppies applied with hand stitching. So sweet, thank you Natalie.
The Mr. cooked up some snow crab for dinner. It was yummy. And so another year was added to the lifeline. Grateful.
