light me up

hello. happy friday.

it's been a busy one over in this neck of the woods.

my biggest brother is in town, which leaves no time for blogging.

only time for: movies, eating (far too much), trips to san fran, and....

hanging our patio lights. 

{since lovebird is a gimp at the moment, a brother's help was well needed}

 i hope you had a lovely day.

i'm off to bed early tonight, resting up for a long day spent in the city.

farmers markets, golden gate park, thrift stores, yummy food, lots of walking,

pictures, paying too much for parking, union square,

more walking, and fisherman's wharf...

here we come!

twenty two

happy birthday to... me.

i was spoiled rotten this year. 

i am so thankful for all of my fun little gifts.

clothes, being with my mom, scones, shoes and more shoes, 

new curling iron, spa days, a bird day planner, makeup, and the list goes on.

however, one of my favorite birthday gifts was "from" my

sweet father-in-law. check it out.... 

he gave me a little chunk of money, and my mind ran wild.

i bought us new patio furniture!

and of course a handful of pillows.

never can have too many pillows. right jim?

it was a great year. and i'm happy to live the next one.

cheers to being the big 22.

thanks to all of you gift givers and happy birthday wishers. 

i love you all.
