Last day of March

I love having a birthday month - that's when birthday wishes, birthday greetings, birthday presents, and birthday surprises come all through the month, not just on the day of my birth.

Mary the Mail Lady brought packages from Baerbel and Beth today. So on this gloomy rainy day I'm opening cards and gifts and thanking God for friends.


Beth sent a Trader Joe bag and catalog, recipe cards, Taste of Home magazine, and a beautiful bracelet she made of green Swarovski crystals.





Baerbel sent a set of heart-shaped cookie cutters, a heart-shaped box, coffee drinks, a pen and key-chain set, a 2009 Weight Watchers calendar book and a towel she embroidered herself.




The children loved the pig on the envelope:


And now I am ready for April to begin.
