My Great Big Beautiful Birthday Bowl

This being the day after Thanksgiving, our local little thrift store had it's annual "Day after Thanksgiving half off sale". Since we were around this year we went to it. It was Grace's idea. Her idea was, that if we went right away when it opened she could buy the huge old bowl that we saw last week for me, for my birthday. We did and she did. And now I have this beautiful huge fruit bowl to replace the three or four at-a-time bowls that I usually have around on my counters. I love it! When I thanked her she told me she'd like to inherit it someday...I had already thought of that.

Going places, thinking up and doing things, homemaking and just living with my daughters (and sons) is such a joy. I never imagined life would be so good, so blessed, so full!

I think this is the first request for inheritance I've had, means I'm getting older...that's what happens with birthdays.

Never regret growing older...it is a privilege denied to many!
