The view of my front porch on Sunday—my birthday. The wreath was a birthday gift to remind me Spring is on it’s way. The temperature made it to 54 degrees. We ran Ransom in the woods without snow shoes. Pounding through the melting snow was an incredible work out.
Stina sent me this apron, monogrammed for me. I still keep saying it’s too pretty to use.
When my father-in-law was alive, he use to build furniture. I made the comment one day with my husband that he did a wonderful job—it looked “store bought”. I was quickly corrected that that was an insult and it was so much better. Stina—This apron is beautiful, even better than “store bought”. I may just have to hang it on a hook for display.
Saturday we took Eric shopping for Suits in Appleton and I stopped at a shop and picked up two signs with birthday money from my sister-in-law.
OK—I’m 46, and feel pretty good about it…I just feel like things are looking up.
Gratitudes –
A nightgown from my Mom with pleats and tucks.
A key with the word Grace engraved on it
My daughter cooking supper Saturday night—in spite of the smoke-filled kitchen… I thought it was wonderful.

Remember the story of the Velveteen Rabbit? Think of your beautiful apron the same way - it will know how much it is loved and valued by using it until it's comfortable and worn *s*

This is great. I love your apron, it is adorable. And yes I would prefer to look at it too instead of using it. Hey in fact...just wear it to a restaurant and tell them you didn't want to get it dirty so you decided to go out instead!
Blessings,
Debbie

Happy Belated Birthday!
Sounds like it was a great one. Lovely gifts and your family around you as best of all.
(maybe a picture sometime of Ransom's feet in snowshoes? anything like the dogs in the Iditarod?)
Anyway, your year is off to a good start! Enjoy!

Happy Birthday to you! up there in northern Michigan - from a southern Michigan person.

46! You are a young one. Happy Birthday. But why are you getting 54 degrees and we still have snow?
A belated happy birthday to you. It seems you had a great day. May you have many, many, many more! ~Adrienne~
Belated birthday wishes for you. I do believe that all things are more special and beautiful when handmade, more loved when used. So use that pretty apron and enjoy the gift as it is intended.
Happy belated birthday! Cheers!
