If you understand the title of this blog, we could definitely be friends!
The great thing about having a super busy life, along with a super busy family, is that birthdays can be celebrated three weeks late. We finally got the clan together for our birthday dinner and it was a blast. I was given some of the coolest presents ever. They mostly revolved around reading or my current farmer/gardener lifestyle.
Meredith and Melinda <3
Sometimes simple is best, too. I would take an organic pb cup any day. (Thanks, Jess!)
YUMM
The coolest gift, possibly ever. (Thanks, Em!)
Harry Potter For Life
And these books .The Yellow Wallpaper is one of my all time favorite short stories! (Thanks, Alex!)
Got some readin’ to do!
My parents are always great at giving me old vintage gifts, either from a grandparent’s house (priceless!) or from an antique shop. My mom has a gift when it comes to such things. The best, most useful gift I could have been given was from them.
An EGG basket!! The chickens will love it!
The time spent, the wonderful food that was made, and the fact that I had another chance to celebrate with my twin sister made this one of the best post-birthday dinners ever!
And if you see me around, don’t be surprised if I’m wearing this.
might never take it off
(Can you spot my other birthday present? It’s on my arm. And it was my gift to myself. ….. <3)
Love, Lou

I forgot to mention that I was EXTRA excited about it being a birthday gift because of the HP bday connection. LOVE YOU!
