Good Morning!

On my way to the bus stop this morning I had to snap this picture. Sometimes you just have to stop and take a minute to be thankful for the things in your life. I am so thankful for my family and my wonderful job. I had a boss a few years back that used to say "someone is always fatter and uglier than you" - meaning no matter how much you think your life sucks, someone out there has it worse than you. So be grateful and take a minute to count your blessings!

Happy Birthday to Me!

It rained on my birthday . . . again. Since my birthday typically falls around our local city's "Rose Festival", it is no surprise that chances it will rain on my birthday. So this is what birthday girls do when it rains. It sure as heck won't stop us from sitting around the chiminea and drinking wine. We just bring out the pretty umbrellas! Despite the chilly rain, I had a pretty good birthday - celebrated with my family and friends. PS: Robyn (on the right) has a birthday the day before my birthday! So Happy Birthday to Me and Robyn!
