I woke up this morning another year older... Yes, it's my birthday. First thing I saw when I woke up was that it was pouring down rain. I felt it was a gift from God for my birthday and made sure to thank him right away...I love when it rains. My office is outside my bedroom and the photo below is what I saw this morning-What a wonderful husband I have. He also left pink heart shaped notes all over the house...I went to the bathroom, there was a note. I went to get some water out of our mini fridge in our walk in closet, note. I went to get in my car, note etc. etc. etc. It's really fun because he is very creative on where he leaves notes. I'm sure I will find more before the day is over. Thanks Honey
Then I sat down at my computer and saw lots of birthday wishes for me online. I noticed a lot of people coming in from Lori's blog Morning Glories and Moonflowers so I went over there to check it out and was brought to happy tears. Thank you so much Lori...Go HERE to see her special birthday post for me today. If you don't know Lori you are missing out...She is an amazing lady. While you are there check out her cute bracelets and such that she has in her Etsy store. I still can't believe Lori took the time and found so many beautiful pictures to make this special post for me...I am very touched. Lori also sent me a gift package with the little beverage holder you see in the photo above with the "R" on it. She also made me the cutest neckless with a Robin's nest on it and got me a pink business card holder for my "soon to be made" business cards.
After breakfast I walked back up to my office and this is what I found in the photo below: PRESENTS!
My daughter had bought me all sorts of wonderful chocolates and candies...Thank you daughter you sure know what I like. My husband also bought me a really great outdoor table and chairs for my front porch and a rooster weather vain that I love. I have received calls all day, E mails, hugs, cards you name it. And when I went to Starbucks this morning I got birthday wishes written on my "Robin's special" drink... All and all it's been a lovely day and I just wanted to say to all you wonderful friends:
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART~♥
One last thing then I will stop gushing... My wonderful friend Jan was asking about my trip to the beach last weekend. My husband took me to the coast for a birthday outing because he knows how I love to take pictures. It was 96 degrees at our house when we left-When we got to the beach 100 miles away it was 56 degrees and socked in. (We should have checked the Internet live beach camera) You couldn't even see the water but we still had a wonderful time with the cooler temperatures. As we were driving along the coast I told him to stop that I saw a owl-He laughed as he was turning the truck around and said, "nah, it's not a live owl... it's the middle of the day, I'm going to laugh if it's a plastic owl someone put in a tree!" I had the last laugh because it was a owl. As you can see in the photo the coast was very foggy.
This photo does not do the owl justice on how big it was.
(Click photo worth the click)
P.S. Miss Mattie I was going to go under him to see if I could find you some "owl stuff" for dissecting but he really looked kind of mean! So I thought it was best to leave him be. :)
I am so glad to read your day started just right. I hope it ends that way too...
