A Full Month



I had a "landmark" birthday mid-August. Yes my fine friends, I turned the big six-o...60. Where oh where did the years go? I am pleased to report that I did not fall apart! Neither mentally nor physically. :D I have no aches and pains. The right knee creaks a bit, buy my sister-in-law's knee has creaked since she was a teenager and she is still going strong at 56...so I'm not worried. Over the years, as I've hit "the" age, I have thought, "I am in better health than Mama when she was this age." I continually thank God that this has held to be the truth.

When Sam and I married 16 years ago, I told him that I was not big on cut flowers...an expense to just throw away in a few days and I would rather got out someplace nice to eat or...just buy me CHOCOLATE! :D

So for my sixtieth birthday I was surprised  for the third time since we married with a beautiful bouquet.


My birthday celebration continued when I was surprised at the pizza place to find Cody, Brook, and Isabel waiting for us after church! Such a sweet second surprise!





And a perfect chance to show-off my very first homemade bagels!




 
These tasted GREAT, but I am not going to post a recipe yet. There's one more recipe I want to try.

About Me

*This entire blog is copyrighted ©. No part of this blog shall be printed or reproduced without the written permission of the author.* A wife, mother, daughter, sister...I love to quilt. I've always read. Now, having had my first short story published I can say, "I am a writer." ;o) Years ago I taught myself to crochet. The summer of 2007 I started learning to knit. My husband retired back in 2003, and I quit my job. In 2004, we moved back to my 'home.' After a year, I started subbing at the high school. In the spring of 2010, I started a regular part-time job. All my friends were still working. We didn't travel like we'd planned. So...I'm working again and loving it! Loving it so much that I began 2011 working full time as secretary to the new County Judge! A very exciting opportunity I could NOT let pass.
