Yesterday, my brother and sister took me out to breakfast for my annual siblings' birthday gathering. I expected to see THEM. I did NOT expect to see my friend, Teresa, (from Southaven) who had been cleverly hidden by another dear friend who is known to most everyone these days as "Granna." I am told my squeal was heard even outside the confines of the restaurant! Teresa has been hard at work attending school to learn medical coding. I had no idea that she would be able to come down for the occasion. I told my family not to do that for my next milestone. I will be so old, I might have a heart attack and drop dead!
I was also treated to the most amazing lemon bars that I have ever eaten and they are GLUTEN-FREE! I will definitely be stopping at Butter, A Louisiana Bakery, next time I am in Monroe. Thanks to my sister, Tammy, for finding this place and agreeing to make the sacrifice of sampling items so I would know what was good. Tough job, but someone had to do it!
The only thing I did not get was a picture with my brother and sister. My brother had a pressing event to get to after my party. A young friend of his was turning the big "4" and he left my party to attend hers.
I guess I'm ready for the old rocking chair now.
And maybe a nap.

Hey, Karen! I'd forgotten you were nearly 10 years younger than me. So glad you had a good time. sure do miss our painting class, but I'm working every morning and afternoon now, so I'd have to quit anyway. You are looking good, by the way. My David liked to feed the squirrels when we were camping, so I quite understand.
