Of Birthdays

My mom used to say the secret to staying forever young is to marry someone who is 4 years older than yourself. I didn't set out intending to do that, but history does have a way of repeating itself. And I can vouch for that working... When I hit 40, the man of the house was already 44. Now that he's past 50, 47 doesn't sound so old.

I did have a good day and felt well celebrated. My family took me to a local vineyard that specializes in wood-fired pizza. My first time there, and the pizza was every bit as good as I was told. Margarita pizza is my favorite.

 The Brunch pizza was good too. (And the BBQ chicken.) 

 Entertaining my grandbaby while we waited for our pizza... 

 Then my family showered me with gifts. "These are a few of my favorite things" 

Among other things, they got me a ticket for a Michael W Smith concert!

Super excited for that later this year.  

Our annual school fundraiser auction was Saturday, which made for a busy weekend, but I still love working auctions. Afterward we finished out the celebration with cake & ice cream.  

I'm thankful for my family & many friends. You make my life so rich.
