Happy Birthday to Me!

Birthday Card from my brother!

Flowers from my Grandmother!

What a wonderful birthday this has been so far... so wonderful I just have to share! It started this morning with gifts from my husband. Now, let me warn you that we do not do lavish gifts (diamonds, jewelry, big stuff) for birthdays. We are very simple folks and very easy to please. With that said here's a peak at what I received from Jon. You'll want to note his unique wrapping style - always a surprise with him! This time it was tin-foil and blue painters tape combined with a brown lunch sack and toilet tissue paper. (Just a note: he used Snowman Napkins to wrap my Christmas gifts).

Then when I arrived at work this morning I was greeted by a chocolate pie, a beautiful vase with a Gerbera Daisy and a gift from Mrs. Kay. I have been coveting an address stamp that both of her daughters use and she was kind enough to get me one for my birthday!

As if all of that wasn't enough when 11:00 am rolled around in walks my mother with a picnic lunch (homemade brownies included) and more gifts! She gave me the cutest brown and pink flip flops, an Irish necklace and a new Audrey Hepburn movie, Funny Face. I thought what a great surprise... but wait... there's more! A few moments later my grandparents, brother and Jerry walk through the door to join us for our picnic :) Do I have the greatest family and friends or what?

My birthday picnic with (from L to R) Granny, Paw Paw David, Jerry, Momma and Mrs. Kay!
