Thanks for all the birthday wishes, comments, emails, ecards, cards, phone calls and personal greetings. I was well celebrated.
My friend and neighbor Beckie came over . We did some research on cameras as I am looking for a newer one. We went to Chick-fil-a for lunch (my favorite place) and shared a brownie thinking it would be my only birthday cake.
I found this great purple jacket for half price so I bought it. Melli and MIL arrived in my drive way about 3 pm. When I pulled into my drive way I found helium balloons tied to the porch as well as a Chocolate cake!
Note the cool spiral candles! Fortunately Melli only put 12 candles on it so a potential fire hazard was averted. We had a birthday dinner at Red Lobster which was delicious and Melli and I talked and laughed long into the night.
This morning we ran the street of Staunton going to a wonderful quilting store and then to a glass blowing store where we actually watched several pieces being made. We had lunch at the train depot grill . We had a grilled veggie sandwich with portabello mushrooms, zucchini, yellow squash and mozerella cheese. My eyes were bigger than my stomach so I brought most of my lunch home.
All to quickly I had to say goodbye to Melli and send her on her way home.
My love language is time. The idea that Melli would drive 4 hours to spend the day with me just blesses me more than I can ever express.
Spending time with some of my favorite girlfriends was definitely a high point of my day. Thanks to every one for making me feel special.
