A Good Way to Turn Forty-five (April 2024)

 

My birthdays are funny around here. It's usually all or nothing, and my forty-fifth birthday morning was definitely all. The little children served me breakfast in bed and carried away the dishes. 

I had not only a red carpet and a birthday couch but also a blanket carpet leading down the staircase and covering the entire living room. 😂💚

I didn't think it could get better than that, but they'd also made a springtime throne for me in the library, to sit upon while I ate lunch. If you're wondering if I felt like a queen-- yes, I did. 

I don't know what my birthday dessert was, but here's a picture of the candle!
