Sweet Memories

Today I am reminded of how blessed I am as my phone rang numerous times this morning. Each of my children called wishing me a happy birthday. Even though they each have a busy life they did not forget to call, making my day a very special day from the beginning.

We began celebrating on Saturday night as Mimi, Daddy Bill, Will, Annacarmie and I ate at Agnew's in Baldwyn to celebrate Mamma Kim and Daddy Bill's birthday. The festivities continued as we can home to enjoy a butterfinger cake Mimi made. Annacarmie did an excellent job choosing a gift from her and Will. She picked pieces of Midnite pottery that perfectly complement my new kitchen. I loved it and cannot wait to display it. Annacarmie, my sweet child, you did an wonderful job as usual choosing just the right gift for your mother. Thank you. Now, I just have to sort through boxes to find the plate stands I am looking for to hold each of the pieces. Will, as usual you always pass the buck for choosing gifts to someone else. That is not a bad thing because you might choose something like a motorcycle or a car part or a gun because that is what you would want.

Daddy Bill and Mimi gave me money to go on a new laptop that I had been wanting for some time. As a matter of fact, that is what I am working on right now. I will use the laptop to take the Photoshop class I registered for yesterday. After finishing the class, I hope I will be able to do all the photo editing on my own pictures. We will see how that works out.

I will never forget the year I picked out my Christmas present from you. It was a beautiful rusted set of three wise men. To say the least you did not like. Even after the years that have passed I still love my bucket of rust.

Sunday night Stephanie and the girls along with Annacarmie, Makenna Kate, and Neil ate at Atlanta bread for my birthday. Stephanie bought me a beautiful pitcher and Neil painted me a canvas that I will use above my cabinets in the kitchen.

With all my birthday gifts I should have a good start on decorating my kitchen.

Tonight Craig, Bree, and the twins are coming over for dinner as we celebrate my birthday. I look forward to dinner tonight. I will update later about the night.

I think the dinner tonight will end my birthday celebrating. I really like the idea of my birthday going on for several days. I could really get used to this. Maybe that is why Annacarmie and Taylor like to drag out celebrating over a long period of time.

Thank each of you for all you did to make my birthday special and for all the wonderful gifts. I will be reminded of you each time I see the beautiful things you gave me displayed in my kitchen. It is the things each of you have given me over the years that are so special. They are reminders of my love for you and your love for me. I will always love you. Thanks for all the memories we have made together as a family. I look forward to making many more special memories that will bring laughs and tears as we remember them.
