My Very Special Birthday

 My 66th birthday dawned bright and beautiful...

It was a day to celebrate with my beloved family.

Brooke and Scott came bearing flowers, balloons, and awesome gifts!
Thank you!!!

Noah, Amy, and Abe surprised me with beautiful Pinky Marie...a handmade doll by a Kent artist...and one of Amy's amazing plant creations!
Thank you!!!

Two cakes...

From Noah, Amy, and Abe...

From Brooke and Scott...
How lucky can a mom get?

After present opening and some playtime in Hittyville with Abe...

We headed to Jake's for a delicious lunch.

After a quick stop at Brooke and Scott's home to meet Abby...

We visited Brookside Park in Ashland.
I love this little pond...

Amy and Joe really liked this swing.

It would be perfect on our farm!

Making friends with the ducks...

Taking it all in...

A perfect day...

A bit of duck food...

~Love~

Pretty Brooke...

What you can't see are the baby ducks.

Abe was thrilled!

Father and son...

This so reminds me of our childhood creek!

Dear old memories and now we are making new ones.

Back on the farm...

If you look to the left of Abe, you will see a 17 year cicada.

We have many of them in Ashland County!

Swimming Time...

Abe, Amy, Joe and I went for a dip in the pool!

~Heavenly~

It was truly the best of birthdays!
Each one just gets more and more precious...

~Blessed~
