So Thoughtful















On my 43rd birthday bits of thoughtfulness were sprinkled throughout the day -

fresh flowers picked from our homestead from Mike in the morning

a note at my laptop first thing in the morning from Nolan letting me know he would be doing all the dishes for the day

love notes

gifts made of wool and clay

pizza for dinner (as much as love preparing healthy food for my family, a night off was a treat)

cake and ice cream shared with 12 college students and Thomas (a brief surprise visit from college!)

  3. Happy Birthday to you! It is those "seemingly little" things that become the most meaningful presents of all, isn't it?

  8. Happy Birthday, fellow Virgo! I hope you had a beautiful day. And I'm happy that Thomas brought a dozen friends with him back for your birthday ~ I'd say he's settling in well! That must make your mama's heart happy.

  21. Isn't it amusing how our preferences change over time? As children we were delighted with toys, and as adult women- having someone else wash all the dishes and make dinner is just DREAMY!! LOL Sounds like a very wonderful day. :) (today is my husband's birthday :) ). Happy birthday to you, Tonya!
