Beautiful Birthday Flowers

These are from my oldest and dearest friend. I was so surprised to read the card when they were delivered today. She lives in Carson City, Nevada and I don't see her often enough, although last summer we met up for a couple of days in Iowa - the half-way point between my home and where she was vacationing with her family. It was as though no time had passed and we chatted for half the night just like the old days. These flowers filled my heart with joy.

Just got home from dinner with the kids and Owen and Olivia. My kind of birthday celebration! Lots of laughs and only a bit of chaos. Now off to bed.

Goodbye April 12th, see you in 364 days.
