{Happy Birthday To Me}

I hope that you all are enjoying this nice Sunday afternoon. I just finished prepping for tomorrows evening meal and prepping for a lunch for a friend so decided to give myself a break and show you some fun pictures from my birthday. YEP, praise the Lord I celebrated another birthday yesterday. Just seems like I celebrated one not too long ago! 

Marty asked me what would I like to do for my special day and since my three daughters carried me to a movie and out to eat last weekend I decided to let's do a day trip to Fernandina Beach, Florida. We ate at this great place overlooking the harbor and we got there just before it became crowded. The temps was rather cool for us Floridians and there was some wind but we sat in the enclosed patio and it was so nice.

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. It's hard to find good food and good service these days but we sure did find it there. 

We walked around downtown and the pirates sang happy birthday to me! We done a little shopping and I found a place that carried all sorts of teas and spices. Mercy! I refrained from the teas as I am trying to drink up some that I have now but I did have to get a small bottle of their brand Turmeric.

Of course I wanted one of everything! I did have a cup of their tea and it hit the spot. But, we also had coffee after a few hours of walking around town to keep me focused. I ate too much! LOL! 

We arrived home that night to find these mini cupcakes with a note in a bag hanging on my door! It's good to have friends that tell each other what a DEAL we got! LOVE IT! 

I was a little sad when we arrived home that I didn't give in to my whim of buying some of the teas however, this was waiting on me from a sweet blogging friend in my mailbox. Thank you Kitty! 

On our way home we decided to stop on the outskirts of Fernandina to shop a few of my favorite places and one of those places happened to be a Thrift store. I found this cute little glass tea pot infuser. I love it as you can use with tea bags as well as loose leaf tea. It was $3.99 so I knew I had to get it. Happy Birthday to me I sang all the way to the car! 

Now I am not familiar with this name on the bottom of the tea pot but as I was checking out a lady standing behind me commented on the cuteness of the tea pot. We stuck up a conversation and she asked if she could look at it. She then told me she thought It might be vintage and that she had heard the name of the maker before. She was so funny as she said, "Honey, you might want to check this out because you might could sell it". Well, it just seems that it is vintage from what I can read about it. Found one on EBAY for $53. Other places, lots more! Either way, whether it's vintage or not, I sure will enjoy using this cutie. 

Oh I have to show you these beautiful onions!  They were given to me by my daughter Melissa whose husband's family had grown them! Blooming onion looks like it might just a be meal this week around here. 

Since we arrived home too late for me to cook Sunday dinner we decided to take these two out to eat at their favorite place after church, Burger King. Of course we topped it off with Cotton Candy for dessert. After their sugar high we carried them home!!!

I love Sue Boldt's morning moment of prayer devotional each week and if you get the chance to pop over and read her writings you will be blessed. It seems just when I need that extra WORD from the Lord Sue's prayer pops up in my mailbox. www.sueboldt.com

I hope that you all have a wonderfully blessed week. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
