55 Is Alright

Okay, so the big day is almost over.

And what a nice day it has been...began with coffee and roses, had breakfast with a girlfriend, went thrift store shopping, got caught in a huge rain storm (how unusual!), talked to Dad and Mom on the phone, talked to Alison, talked to Erin, had a visit from the kids and grandkids, a friend came by with some tea he bought for me, Ed made me a birthday omelet for supper, then decided to make his Williams Sonoma chocolate chip cookies for a birthday dessert.  Yum!

Okay, it was a great day.

Being 55 is great with these two as grandchildren.  Me with Charlie and Grace, 6/7/11.

Last month, after being duct taped and coddled along for ages, my old wonderful green Wellies finally went to boot heaven.  These are the Sloggers Ed got me today for my birthday.  Stylin"!

And here is the darling hummingbird feeder he also got me...handblown from recycled glass.  I love it!

The cookies...and are they worth every calorie-laden bite!

Erin makes these adorable dolls; this is the Gardening Grandmama she made for me.
Isn't she so amazingly cute?  I love the flower on her hat.
Happy Birthday, Me!  Thanks to all of you who helped make it so special.

  1. Love you mom. I love the boots (especially a text pic of them at midnight to show them off... LOL scared Eric and I right awake!) and I'm glad you had a good birthday.
