I Dont Know, You Tell Me

A lot of people have asked if I had a good birthday, so I'll let you decide for yourself.

I took a half day of work, ran a few errands, had a late lunch with my girlfriends, and got manicures and pedicures!


Came home to a back porch full if balloons, sweet notes, a cookie cake, a rose, and a cactus.


I received a slew of cards, gifts, had cake at Bible study, and returned home to a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my parents!!!!  Plus, this morning I realized that I got a little shout out on another blog...So sweet!

Anthro and Mary Ann's chocolates - Ooo lala!

Creme Brule Coffee!! 

Flowers from Mom and Dad!

So you tell me?! 
I say yes, DEFINITELY!

Dont mind if I do!

This, my friends, is always the request of my father anytime he is asked for a gift idea.  And, well, if there was a day to shoot for the moon and land one of those, it was yesterday: his 60th Birthday!  

How about a surprise visit at the office and a calculator cake?!  Close enough!?
