For my 61st birthday, a group of my very dear friends took me to a tearoom out in the country in Hepzibah, GA. It was magical, all the food was mixed up and baked by hand (scones, finger sandwiches, fresh strawberries, and cakes). The table settings were carefully thought out and the whole afternoon was an AHHHH moment.
I was given a book as a present and in it is written a precious quote a day. I will try to write a story or essay about the quotes that really speak to me. What a great writing tool.
My friends are are so special and the best part is they like me! Another friend gave me a "Wishnet".
It is a tiny metal birds nests with six metal birds. Each bird is stamped with a different "wish" we all aspire to; love, wish, dream, courage, laugh and believe. It is my own Three Coins in a Fountain.
I also received a cloisonne apple with a tag that read an apple for the teacher. Teaching has been my profession for over thirty years. In some way, shape or form I have taught in a classroom, a boardroom, a business office and even a trailer...
Life is not always what we may want it to be but with good friends to help us along the way it is WAY better.
