A quiet, rainy, then partly sunny day was had by all....

What a nice day I had with my family! I woke up to the aroma of a freshly brewed pot of coffee...yum. It was so good....I think it was a ploy to get me to cook though. I didn't mind however, and made eggs, sausage, hash and hashbrowns. After breakfast the girls gave me their gifts....I loved them all! JB then went outside to work on the tree house for a bit, and the girls cleaned up the kitchen....well, Betsy did 99% of it....I think wee one may have cleared her plate, lol.

Mom came over later and brought lunch....which we ate in the dark. It started storming and we lost electricity for about an hour or so. However, the food was just as good in the dark! After lunch I opened her gifts (cookie sheets, cooling racks....think she is trying to tell me something? I think I'll be baking cookies for her this week! LOL), and then we watched Napoleon Dynamite. She went home before that ended because her sciatica was hurting (I think she left because she didn't like the movie! LOL....just kidding mom.)

The rest of the afternoon was spent lounging about until I had to take Betsy to work, where she is until late. JB will be picking her up since it's my birthday....lol. Thanks honey! My aunt and uncle ended up coming over and bringing me a gift as well....which was unexpected. We chatted outside and wee one played with my uncle for a long time.

Now, I'm sitting here relaxing with a bag of cherries and wee one sitting next to me, waiting to instant message with her friend. I'm telling ya, I'm on here two seconds before these kids want to use it!

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the cards and birthday wishes I've received. It really, truly meant so much to me....I love my j-land friends!!!! ((((HUGS))))

You are so lucky that you actually get gifts for your birthday!!!!  I am so jealous!  I have that blueberry candle too, but whenever I burn it Bethany tells me she is going to be sick and would I please put it out.  Sigh.  I think some cookies are due to your Momma for buying you those cookie sheets!  I have never seen "Napoleon", and I don't think I ever will.  That guy is too much like the ones I went to high school with and I actually hated high school.  LOL!  Happy Birthday once again!  Glad you had a much deserved wonderful day!  :)
Hugs and love, Lisa
