 Happy Birthday darling Girl . I can still call you this because I am your mama , forever ! Due to a sore throat , we had postpone the celebratory dinner for tommorow nite , but daughter and hubby found a moment to drop by and say hello . When I think of my blessings , this couple comes to my mind instantly as well as the little wee one in the picture and of course my darling husband . Lots of love here , registers high on the blessing list . It just so happened that the amaryllis that said darling daughter gave me for Christmas decided today was the day it would make its incredible appearance . My husband and I were blown away , so beautiful . Like our daughter who came in with a bang , my gift exploded into pinks , green and pale blush .... sigh .

 God is so great , what an artist ! I am still staggering from all the beauty that I see everday in this world . He must really love us to prepare such a place for us ! God bless your week and lots of love , Suz

I'm how old ?

                         Today is brought to you by the letter S . Yesterday was my 51st birthday and I enjoyed every minute . Lulu made me this decadent flourless chocolate cake , recipe from Real Simple this month , and it was devine ! She is quite the baker . I got phone calls from sweet friends in Memphis and here in Florida and enjoyed catching up with good people . Life does not have to be complicated or over the top for me to enjoy , its the little things like a kind word , a cup of hot coffee shared with someone , looking up at the starry sky with my honey , or simply hugging a sweet child in my Sunday School class . These are the best times that life has to offer . God bless you and keep you .xxoo Suz
