Gifts

Yesterday was special. It was my birthday.
It was just another day as I woke and thanked the Lord to be alive and well. I wasn't planning anything and so I was in leisure mode.
My sister called and we talked for a long while. And while we were talking we were interrupted several times. No big deal.
One of those interruptions was a very sweet friend of mine who wanted to take me to lunch.
I was surprised. But,  I had to finish my call with my sister.
A hour later I returned the call to my very sweet friend and accepted the invitation. In the invitation was a extended invitation to go to a quilt shop for my gift.
So we went to Farmer Boy's for their Chicken Club sandwich combo. I didn't think I could eat it all until I did. Like wow. I must have been hungry. At 11:00 am though, well. It all went down, and it was yummy.
And then we were off with our tummies full and conversations in full blow.
She took me to Ginger's Quilt Shop. A lovely place.
I perused the place looking for something that I couldn't go home without. I saw some yummies , but I just was not sure. After a hour of really scoping the place out. I came across a fat quarter pack. I thought "Oh my. I think I really like that. If I can find some yardage to carry this through That is what I would like".
 I figured my hubby had given me a bit to pick up something for myself for my birthday gift from him.
I thought I wanted a Chronological Bible I had been told about. But when I checked it out. Well it just didn't grab me, so to speak. I really was not all that impressed.
rich & yummy 
So my thoughts  were, ' I can get the fat quarters and she can help with the yardage, maybe'.
As I was deciding on what coordinating fabrics I wanted she was telling me, "just take it all. Just take all that too. Make sure you get enough".
So I did.
When we got to the register I asked for a birthday discount and wanted to know if they honored them. You 'betcha' was the response.
So they rang her order up and scooted my bundle right on in there with it and I was blessed. I mean I was so shocked that I was almost ready to cry. But I don't cry all that easy so, I was kind of like now, speech- less. I really didn't think, "THANK YOU" was good enough. I still don't know if "THANK YOU" is good enough.

But what else can one say?
THANK YOU...



And I just wanted to share what I got for my birthday from my very sweet friend, "Myrna, Thank you".
