BIRTHDAY GIRL


Thank you Leo!
Be still my heart......


Ah yes....another year older...
As a rule, I DO NOT like my birthday...
however...
I am ever so grateful to be blessed with another day
and 
good health, with a beautiful loving family...I am so grateful!
So, this was a GREAT day made possible by my family
and
sweet friends!
The darling took me to lunch at Modern Market...
soooo delicious!
I had Hibiscus tea for the first time!
In the end...birthdays are fun....
and
I love seeing how others celebrate their own special day.
I recorded some of the best highlights of
this birthday in July, 2016!



The Divine Miss M always
presents me with THE most beautiful cards!
I just have to frame this one!


She knows what I love...
an entire beautiful gift bag filled with the soft scents
from Bath and Body...
Oh yes....a hot bubble bath is calling my name.....


In the late afternoon,
we headed out to son # 2's beautiful country home
for a cookout!


Even though they had attended
Weatherford's Peach Pedal Festival very early that morning,
he hosted a fabulous birthday party and cookout!


Miss Catherine watching the grill master at work!


Oh yes, honey..these are going to be SO good.....


OK!
Would you just look at this masterpiece
of a birthday cake from HEB...
White Chocolate with Raspberry filling....
oh my, my......
This was probably worth turning another year older.....


I must admit it is nice 
when they sing...
Happy Birthday to you......


and....trick candles no less.....


finally..
the tiniest little candles you ever did see.....


Time to cut the cake.....


We can all testify that the bakery at HEB
is THE BEST..
honeychild...this was wedding cake worthy! 


Yes....my darlings...
we ate half the cake!


Cat sent us home with some of these
delicious Texas peaches....
I feel a peach pie or cobbler coming on.....


Headed home with this beautiful Texas sunset....


Hello Fort Worth...
you beautiful city!


My beautiful birthday roses
from Greg and Jenn!
A beautiful shade of peach!
Thank you all for making this day 
very, very special!
