IN WHICH THE SPINSTER'S HEART OVERFLOWS ONCE AGAIN...

I am in perpetual awe at the sheer volume of happiness I feel because of the love and kindness of my Dearies. Thank you. Turning 60 was a milestone I never thought I'd see, but so far...so good.

I did have a lovely day. Rich and I ate the most delicious little cakes at the stroke of midnight...I think the Martin's (our local grocery store) called them Mississippi Mud Cakes, and boy oh boy were they delicious!

The next day I had a kidney check-in with my local doc, and then I came home and made a cold brew:


Opened an amazing box of beautiful things from my sister:



Played with the little case that I bought a few months ago, but swore it was my birthday gift to myself to justify the spendiness:



Fished through my WiPs:



And started a new project...Fanciful Flight from Robin Pickens:



So there you have it...a wonderful day enjoying the things I love and being so very grateful for all of them. You're at the top of the list, my dear and previous friends.

Thank you.
