I revisited this blog after many months of abandonment. Somebody had to check it. It is still here. I had been occupied with work, family, and volunteer nursing activities.

Happy Birthday Week to you! I will gladly trade my candles for your 46! Forties are good years I think, it's when you reach the point of being comfortable with yourself and life, and it sounds like you really had fun doing lots of celebrating! Paul is such a sweetie to do flowers and dinner and I loved that your daughter took the time to put together a birthday gift bag. Her high score in class was just like frosting on the cake, and you do indeed have much to be grateful for this week. I love the photo collage you share with us, illustrated blessings, and a fun way for you to look back and remember too! Have a wonderful week ahead, Carin, and thank you for joining us at TToT!

ReplyDeleteThe balloons and flowers sound lovely. Love also a gift bag of randoms. Decadent. And sounds like you traveled around with your dining out choices this week. Mexico and Japan. Not bad.
All the best for the year ahead.
Sounds like a pretty terrific birthday week. Wishing you many more of just this same caliber!
