Birthday Greetings
Happy Sunday Friends!
I hope this day has brought you joy and peace. It has been a wonderful day in my Sunny home in Maryland. Did you know that I am praising the Lord for the soon blessing of rain. I hear the thunder and I see the sky turning a forbidding gray.

Shortly after starting this post, Mike rushed to the top of the stairs to let me know he was going to get Chad. I immediately went up the stairs to get a flashlight. I didn’t have that flashlight in my hands 5 seconds before the power went out. We where without power from about 3:45 pm until early this morning — probally around 3:00 am. The really sad thing is that we didn’t get much rain out of the storm, just a hot muggy night.

Today I have a violin lesson. I plan to leave out early enough to go to the thrift store. I didn’t buy much in the way of shorts and am finding that the ones I have from previous years are throughly worn out. Besides we have a beach trip coming up, I would like some “new to me” things.

The Birthday/ goinging away present is for my friend Tracy who is leaving with her family to go to Alaska. She is a very sweet lady and inspite of any differences we have had in the past, I find her truthfulness, honesty and concern very comforting and I consider her to be a true friend. I will miss her.

Have a great day, and I hope to get some fun stamping time in.
Stamp happy,

Sorry to hear about your muggy night! I hope you enjoy your shopping trip – it's always cool to find something new to you (plus, it's much less too 🙂 )
hugs!

Beautiful box Loretta! I love that floral printed ribbon! Do you sell this? The whole presentation of your box is stunning! How do I go about ordering one of your monthly kits? Thanks for any info. Hugs, Cami
