Queen for a Day

Everyone should have the chance to feel as celebrated as I've felt today. I wish I had pictures to capture all the wonderful things my family and friends did for me today from birthday wishes sent via text, email, and regular mail to packages that arrived overflowing with love and thoughtfulness to meals composed of all of my favorite dishes. Who wouldn't feel loved with all this?

But I feel loved day in and day out because God has surrounded me with an amazing group of people who love Him and let His love overflow through them. I am blessed beyond measure. So thank you for loving me well and making my birthday so special.

(The yummy red velvet cake from Bluebonnet Bakery that I took to work today. But even this tasty treat could not compare with my friend Lee Ann's homemade cooked banana pudding with meringue, which was served warm right after a meal of chicken spaghetti, beef stroganoff, and salad prepared by Lee Ann, Sandi, and Susie. And the fifty-degree temperature outside made this warm food taste even better. I must be livin' right, as my friend Susie would say.)

*Note: I confess that I am also the queen of delayed postings. I started this post, along with the two others below it, earlier in the week but did not post them until Oct. 17.

On your next b-day, I am coming to YOUR house for dinner! Or should I just send my favorite menu to Susie???

Glad you made it to the Bluebonnet bakery. I wish I had read your post a day or two earlier, so I could have wished you a happy birthday ON your birthday. So happy to hear that you had a wonderful day! Happy Belated birthday, Alyssa!

K - Lee Ann & Sandi are the chefs. If you come, you might be requested to bake one of your famous cakes!

Tammy - Thanks!
