TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY!
I was born on 9-5-59...isn't that amazing! Now, I don't really go around broadcasting yet again another BIRTHDAY...but I was so humbled today by the many sweet people I know who took the time to show in such sweet ways that they care. I took some pictures of the wonderful goodies I received from family and from the mail today. A great BIG thank you too ALL of you for caring and thinking of me today.
My sweet hubby took my to breakfast at Cracker Barrel this morning. I just love their potatoe casserole they serve with breakfast..and their yummy biscuits! It is also such a fun place to shop in their general store..they always have the cutest stuff! This year I got to pick out my gifts early. One was a gorgeous silver and real pink coral bracelet from a favorite vendor who attends the annual Plymouth, MI Art in the Park. Then I got a COACH pouch purse at the Outlet Store for $60....now that's a steal in my book for Coach. Plus I have one of the sweet men in my life who don't get paying hundreds of dollars for a purse, so for him to get this for me was extra special...I have been using ever since I got it in July!
Then yesterday I spent with my dearest friend in Michigan, Susie...and what makes it so special is we SHARE a Birthday...yep our birthdays are the same. She is a few years older than I but is like a sister to me we are such a kindred spirits...we both share so many things in common along with our birthday. SO...we spent the day thrifting and have lunch together! She themed her gifts with many frangrant lavender items...I wish you all could smell them!
Bertie...you are a dear. Oh you must stop by her web sit..she makes the night light covers and sachets...and they are just dreamy..and she also sent the prettiest Victorian cards of girls, another fav of mine along with bath petals...can't wait to use them! I am so fond of frofrou Victorian! Thank you Bertie!
Then there's Katie....what a character she it! I just love her spunk and zeal for life and she is gifted and talented in so many ways, she sews, does hand work, paints and oh so much more! She lives on the most amazing little farm that we often hear cute stories about the animals that reside there. Especially her baby kitties..who I would love to just squeaze and cuddle with! She made me the most beautiful magnet. The roses are made with coffee filters I believe..and then she glittered up the edges..Oh this is so pretty! Thank you sweet Katie!
Last but NEVER least is Karen. Karen is another funny, sweet and very talented gal as well. She sent the most beautiful tag she made I am sure, and it has the prettiest envelope. But I also wanted you to see the card..it is JUST gorgeous. I am framing this one and finding a special place for it! Thank you Karen!!!
See what I was talking about..my cup runneth over. God has blessed me today in so many special ways. I can only hope to be that to others as well!

Hi Lorena!
What a great idea for the friday flea market! I'll be checking everybody out tomorrow.
Thank you for the wonderful post about Mary & Martha. I love that story. My mom was a "Martha" all her life and missed so much. So I always wanted to me as much "Mary" as I could be but remember the good qualities of the Martha that was in my genes! Anyway, thank you, I've been quite a lot of Mary of late, I guess that's okay!
Big Hugs, Sherry

Hi Lorena, Happy Birthday! Your gifts are just beautiful! I'm sorry I didn't get your card out before vacation, you'll have something coming a little late! Were still in the Outer Banks braving Hannah. House is swaying and the bay just emptied out. Strange sight!
