Friday Fave Fives! (follow the link to join us) It's all about green and Irish and St. Patrick this week! Yes, I am focusing on what I can do, not the situation in the world. If I show love and am loved, maybe that will spread to others and encourage them and maybe love will flow around the world.
1. I should have been named Pat. Why? March 17th is my birthday! All my life, I've loved that people celebrate my birthday with much joy. And everything green. And parades. And shamrocks.
Me, about two weeks old.
2. So many messages, cards, and phone calls. ALL my kids (and daughter-in-law) and grandkids chimed in as well as my brother and sister-in-law and The Professor's siblings. Talking to my far away sons and Chap's wife was a highlight of my day.
3. People asked what I did to celebrate. Well, we drove into the city so The Professor could have two dr appts. But between the appts, we enjoyed coffee and we picked up a couple of pies. I would much rather have pie than birthday cake. Yum!
4. AND the weather was wonderful so we joined Older Daughter, The New Boy, and another pre teen boy who is nearly family on a hike. 2.6 miles along a river. Coffee. Pie. Hike. What could be better for my birthday?
5. That pre teen boy? He is visiting Older Daughter this week from Texas for his spring break. His mom is one of her BFFs and he asked if he could spend his vacation with her and New Boy. We've enjoyed having him here for dinners and walks and even a backyard bonfire.
All in all, St. Patrick's Week was a success!

Pie, coffee, a hike...PERFECT (well i'm not a cake OR a pie person although i made one for Pi day to please my math nerd daughter and husband...i'd rather have chocolate coconut ice cream for my bday :) )
LOVE that you included a boy who is visiting your daughter.
