Happy Birthday!!

Guess what today is? It's my birthday!!! My sis says that I need to start going backwards on the birthdays... She has a point. #41 on this day. I have been having a fairly grand day- all aside from having to euthanize my cat... but let's not talk about that. Look what I woke up to find draped across my bedroom door:

Wasn't that sweet? My four youngest were very busy quite early this morning. My husband gave me a "heads up" about heading out of the bedroom rather carefully. They know orange is my favorite color and then they added the pretty blue streamers and snowflakes. How could I not have a wonderful day when they were so thoughtful? Mom and my sisses and I went shopping, today, and had lunch at one of my favorite restaurants- Mexican. Got home all tired. My sweet man put up the most wonderful swings in the yard for me- said he would be very happy to find me crocheting on it when he gets home in the evenings. I aim to please. We are suffering from too much rain, right now, but as soon as the weather cooperates, I plan to be out there. We are baking a lasagna and garlic bread for dinner- they wouldn't let me bake my own birthday cake, so I guess they have plans.
