Happy Birthday to Me!

For the past several years I have been in Wisconsin for my birthday. Because of my new job I wasn't able to go this summer. It had become somewhat of a tradition to be in Wisconsin for my birthday. I missed being there but enjoyed my special day with Dave and the kids. Thanks to Nancy, Bev and Pat for the nice phone calls, Rick and Barb for the nice emails, and Mom & Dad, Pat, Nancy and the neighbors for the cards. It's always great to be remembered on your birthday. :)

My gifts were terrific. Kellie and Chris gave me two tiny photo albums to keep in my purse and a hummingbird feeder; Katie a chocolate brown watch I had my eye on in the Kohl's ad and, as always, she made me an extra-special birthday card; from VJ I received a gift card to Kirklands, my FAVORITE store; Dave gave me a really cool floaty fountain light show for the pool and a beautiful wrought iron hanging; a Kohl's gift card from Dick and Pat, cash from Mom and Dad; a nice card from the neighbors; and last but not least, a nice big birthday hug from Drew. Thanks to everyone for making my day extra-special.

I think I hear Kohl's calling my name - gotta go!
