Lemonade Bags

So, today is my birthday. What a great reason to post on my blog! The weather is simply lovely here today in Minneapolis. Warm days in late September are such a treat. In all of my birthday photos from childhood I seem to be wearing skirt, tights and a sweater. Not today. Of course, our weather here is nothing like it was when I was a kid. It used to be cold here, you know. How things change in 37 years (yikes, am I really that old?).

A present arrived in the mail just a few minutes ago (from my husband) and I'm anxious to open it. He's already told me it's a book and that he bought it used, because he knows I like that kind of thing. Perfect timing because I'm literally pages away from finishing Eat, Pray, Love. I have so enjoyed this book - I'm trying to savor the last few pages. Oh, to travel again... Maybe in 18 years, once the last child is grown???

I'm anxiously awaiting an order of many different ribbons - I believe the box will arrive today. I'll post a photo when it arrives. In the meantime, I think I'll take a nap with my 3 year old. Why not? It's my birthday.
