I made it and…..
i’m happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy!
You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever. Psalm 16:11
Sometimes just thinking of something in-particular triggers happiness in us.
When I think of you this happens!

Libraries are defiantly on my list… And rosary beads… I love countryside and woods… castles, theatre, movies, children, my friends, my bad cat (He is very bad sometimes but we love him and he can’t help being a hunter. Even if his gifts make me feel sick sometimes!), Grandparents, family…. oh the list goes on and on…. Have I said how great you look in the picture? Well you do! Happy birthday.

You make me smile every time I read your blogs! Some of the things that make me happy are smiles, hugs, phone calls with my children and grandchildren, daily Mass, starlit skies, family gatherings, rosary beads, sewing machine, piano, my dog “Teddy”, beach glass, quiet lake water, and sunsets. Enjoy your special day because you are a special lady. Birthday hugs…

Such a great list!!! Next 50 years you’ve got to add: Minions, bird farts, fun school, Corgi’s, Redwall, Tasha Tudor, Wine, playing cards, sparkly things, ribbon wands, yarn, aprons, gardening, Kate Spade….gosh I could make a list of 50 for you right now! Point is you are the easiest and most deserving person to celebrate for your birthday because you are selfless and giving. We cannot wait to honor you and all that you’ve given us all these 50 years (not that I’ve been alive to see them all but still). I love you birthday girl.
