I am thankful for…GIFTS

ONE_  Two birthday celebrations with my family for my 78th birthday. One was a surprise gathering at my oldest daughter’s home.  The second  was a visit from my sister from Ohio – and my brother – and their spouses TODAY. and It is our annual get together. My sister  brings me a bouquet from her flower garden each year. It was wonderful to spend this day with my family.
