Happy Belated Birthday Blog to ME!

So it was my birthday this past Sunday. I had to share my day with Father's Day. It worked out nicely because we celebrated all weekend long. :) First: my sob story. All I wanted for my birthday was some patio furniture. I had a really nice set picked out at Home Depot with chairs that swiveled and reclined. Then last week the water heater decided to explode! So after writing a check for $1,000 and sending the happy plumber on his way we decided that I wasn't going to get my nice furniture set. (who could complain? I get a hot shower for my birthday! There are millions of people that don't get that!) Anyway, we did end up getting some fun patio furniture, just a much cheaper set. Here is the pic:

A swing and 2 chairs. I think I actually like this better. I can have a nice shaddy swing with my hubby and we still have seats for 4. I also must say that SO many people went out of there way to wish me a happy birthday. I got cards, chocolate, a gift card from my neighbor, a new cookbook :) People dropped by to bring me special treats. I was so greatful to have such nice friends who went out of their way to make me feel special. Thank you to everyone and esecially my family who chipped in to help with my patio furniture.

Also, since it was Father's Day also, I set Mike loose in Lowes to pick out what he wanted. He got a new grill cover and 3 beautiful Gardenia bushes that he planted below our bedroom windows. I can't wait for spring and fall nights when the weather is cool and the windows are open and we get to smell the beautiful blossoms in our room.

We also recently got a bike seat for Weston. He has a blast riding around with daddy!

Does life get any better than this???
