Birthday Weekend

What a great birthday weekend! Friday night was cocktails and a movie with a friend. Two thumbs up. Saturday morning I slept WAY in, thanks to Steve, then did some puttering and hit the Farmer's Market. My parents arrived around 2pm, we hung out and then showed them the new store. Back home and dinner two doors down at an open house/yard party, then nice chat with the 'rents before bed. Sunday, my actual Birthday, included coffee and pastries with my folks before they headed back to Moses Lake. Then off to a beautiful baby shower/blessingway for a dear friend. The best food I have EVER had at a baby shower, hands down. And what a wonderful outpouring of love for my friend. Back home for leisure time in the afternoon, then another friend came over to babysit while Steve and I walked downtown for sushi. Tumbled into my freshly made bed (virtually all housework this weekend was done by my family, mostly Steve).

Oh, and the earrings. Steve got me the most stunning, elegant, PERFECT pearl and diamond earrings from our favorite jeweler. A near-total surprise, and very welcome. I adore them. And him too.

A perfect mix of groups, family, alone time, variety of activities. The only thing missing was singing (that's OK!) and cake (had a fabulous slice at the shower). I am feeling very blessed right now...
