{Magic of the Mundane}


Today, I am joining Sofia over at Sofia's Ideas for Magic of the Mundane. I so love this idea because it totally falls in line with my desire to get back to simple. It can be a picture, a poem or song, a short video or anything else that celebrates the Magic. So often, we get caught up in "where we're going" that we forget to look at the beauty of "where we are."

Birthdays

This past Friday, I celebrated my forty-fourth birthday.  
And as birthdays go, it was pretty good.
I had a wonderful dinner with my family prepared for me by my Sainted Mother.  In my forty-four years, she has NEVER missed a birthday....ever. There were tons of birthday wishes from friends and family and even a phone call from New Orleans from Annie and Suz...love you guys! On Sunday, my Dad came up and took me, Car Guy and Number Two Son to lunch.  We had a lovely time.  And even though Number One Son couldn't be there, he didn't forget me.  I think this is possibly my most favorite facebook post ever.
It really is the simple things that make a birthday grand!
