A Perfect Birthday

Yesterday I turned 59, and it was a great birthday.  A day surrounded by family and a day being pampered.  Since I have been a fan of gnomes and tomte for most of my life, my birthday theme was of course Gnomes.  Even my cake had a gnome on it.  I was showered with gifts, including gift cards to Starbucks and iTunes, and many beautiful gifts.  A new Dala Horse to match the new decor of our bedroom.  Tea Cup measuring cups.  A new case for my phone with some added bling for it, clothes, a certificate for a massage, and a gnome of course !  I got to go fabric shopping for a couple hours while I needed to be out of the house so I could be surprised with all the decorations and party preparations.    Life is good !
