The big 43!!
Wow...when did that happen?
I still feel like I'm in my very early 30's at least!:)
Yesterday a present came in the mail.
It was from my mom and dad.
A beautiful hand painted dish for eating yummies out of.
A hand beaded bracelet.
A bag of M&M's because my mom knows me and shares my sweet tooth.
and a note with $3 attached.
The note said to enjoy a milkshake next time I had alone time.
You can see the attached $3 is gone
I don't waist time when the solo enjoyment of milkshakes are involved.
Since Dave was home that day
I grabbed my $3 and headed to pick up the girls from school a bit early
I took the L O N G way and
I took this along with me.
It was the perfectly delicious way to spend my afternoon alone time.
Thanks mom!
Have you had any good alone time lately?
Enjoy the day,
Cindy
Happy early birthday! What a sweet gift from your parents! Ah, yes, alone time...priceless. It's funny. I remember not liking being by myself when I was young and single. I was always trying to surround myself with other people. Now, I'm always thrilled when I can find a little alone time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful gift! Happy early birthday to you! I need to get a copy of the new PB. I pour over them for hours! :) I sat by the river the other day with a salad from the gym...pure bliss! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteHappy BIRTHDAY to you! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bunch of gifts to receive!
I love some alone time and a nice catalog to browse through. I hope you enjoyed your quiet time.
have a great day!
Glad you enjoyed your presents...especially the milkshake! Boy, it didn't take you long to indulge in that treat!! I don't wish I was in my early 30's...those were difficult years...but 50 something...I'll go for that! As long as you REMEMBER how old you are I'll know how old I am. All I have to do is add 20 years...I think I can still manage that.
ReplyDeleteI find myself thinking the same thing. . .I still must only be 32 right???
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the LONG way to school!!
Oh this is so sweet! What a thoughtful gift!
ReplyDeleteI have alone time everyday...but it is hard to stop and relax and just spend the time enjoying the peace. Sounds like you had the perfect moment!
Happy Birthday!
What a wonderful gift - truly a gift. I think that sometimes my favorite time of the day is when I get a coffee and a magazine and get to the pick up line at school 30 minutes early! Happy early birthday sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday week!!! I'm so glad you were born & that you blog. I hope the milkshake was delicious. Never in a million years would I guess you will be 43 based on your pictures and your enthusiasm/youthfulness on this blog. I hope that makes sense! Happy rest of your birthday week!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday. That was so sweet!! I love alone time...sadly I do not get much of it but when I do I sit outside reflect and read. = )
ReplyDeleteWhat fun and thoughtful gifts!
ReplyDeleteA milkshake and PB magazine...what more could a girl want! I usually tear through the PB catalog as I'm coming back up the driveway from the mailbox.
Have a super day!

ReplyDeleteYou certainly look like your in your early 30's! I turned 40 this year and I'm still trying to figure how that happened!
