Birthday Fun

I have to make a confession here....when it comes to my birthday and Christmas, there is more kid to me than adult. I love my birthday and am known to make shopping lists for loved ones long in advance, so they have an idea of what to get me. Its sorta a joke in the family about me and my birthday. I just love it.
The presents are starting to come in, first one from my dear friend Sunny (we have known each other so long, we don't count how many decades it is any more). A package from Melissa but I promised not to open it until the 15th. One from my dad and sister Sandy, which I will save until the Big day also. But one did arrive today from my other sister and it had PERISHABLE written on the box so I had to open it right ?????

I could smell what was in it, I nearly cried as I opened the box, no kidding, I did. A big box of the most wonderful Italian cookies from Boston ! One of my all time favorite things in the world and something I have never ever seen in Texas. Oh, I was over joyed..... immediately I called her and Michael to let them know, I had reached a state of pure bliss as I slowly and deliberately munched one of those magnificent cookies with pink and green "jimmies" on it. Jimmies are "sprinkles" for those that are not from Boston.

Melanie and Casi stopped by and as hard as it was, I shared my cookies with them : ) Now all I need is a nice tall glass of Moxie and my New England fix would be complete. Like they say, you can take the girl out of New England, but you can't take the New England out of the girl !

When Emery comes home, I will let him have one cookie too. Boy, I just love birthday week : )

If this all makes me sound greedy, well its true, I don't share well when it comes to Italian Cookies or Moxie.
