Ain't it Great - at 38!

What a weekend! I am overjoyed and thrilled that the weekend went so well. My birthday was Saturday and I stretched it out all weekend long! Friday night I had dinner at my brother and sister-in-law's house.... and oh their gift - kept on giving all weekend... it's an overnight bag/retro 70's tote/bohemian style sack and it was the topic of convo throughout the weekend. Later Friday night I put my present to me together - a very contemporary lamp/ pendant light that I have hung in my living room... That was an ordeal - but I finally got it together after much frustration and prayer! But it is truly a work of art in its style and looks great in my living room.

(Saturday morning my dogs even let me sleep in!) I got up at 8:30 and got ready to go to a late morning breakfast/brunch with my sister Mary. She was sweet and brought some of mom's bells she knew I would like as my gift "from mom" and a couple of books by one of my fav authors. We then went to I-Hop, where we enjoyed a late breakfast and then went shopping at my fav store Target.

Later Saturday evening my girlfriends picked me up and treated me like a Queen. We went to my fav restaurant and laughed and had a great time, then it was on to see "The Other Boleyn Girl." This was an excellent movie and we all went on and on about it. After the movie a few of us went to AppleBees, after which I was home around 11pm... after a wonderful day of great presents and friendship and fellowship time!

Sunday morning I went to church with my brother and sister-in-law and we were able to go to a 9:30 service which put us having a late breakfast at 11:00am. I then met up with a good friend from Lynchburg, Kurt, and we hung out for a late birthday lunch and watched a movie as well. What a day! What a WEEKEND!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to making this one of the best birthdays ever!!!
