Tomorrow I will celebrate 60 years.

As you can see by the above picture, I have been around for a

very long time.  This picture was taken at my Grandpa's farm.

The wagon holds my Uncle and me.

My Grandma and my Mother were pregnant at the same time.

Hence, I grew up having an Uncle a few months younger than me.

 

My friend created this beautiful bouquet of roses for me for my birthday.  It blessed me so
much, that I decided that I was going to do a giveaway opportunity to you, my dear blogging
friends.  I visited a lovely new gift shop that friends opened in our area recently, and found two
special gifts choices. 

 

 

I purchased this colorful floral picture with black iron stand.  It actually is prettier than it looks
on this photo. You can choose between this piece if you want, or...

...if you like coffee as much as I do, and if you find yourself looking forward to waking up
just to have a cup, then you may want to choose the gift of the next item.

 

 

You may want this combination.  An old looking coffee picture

where the word "coffee" lights up when you flip the button on the side,

along with a black iron stand.

 I discovered this at my friend's shop, and knew I had to offer it

to you, because it is unique and fun.

 

So, there you go, if you leave a comment on my blog, like you all

so often do, and your name is chosen, you can decide which

gift you would want.  Flowers or coffee...your choice.

Please feel free to leave a comment, even if you never leave

comments, or if you always leave comments.

Even if you live far away, my friends at the postal shop will mail it

to you.

I want to give you a gift.  I want to share my joy today.

I want to help ease the reality that I will be 60 years old.

On Friday evening, my husband will draw a name.

 

Somehow, I know that with prayer, I will be able to face the years ahead.

Prayer along with some cups of hot coffee, what could be better!

I remember my grandma would say, "We grow too soon old,

and too late smart."  I smile because I understand that now.

It is a Pennsylvania Dutch Proverb, and I can see how it could

happen to me too:)

 

Thank you for visiting here tonight.  I appreciate you all so very

much.  You have been visiting my blog for a long time.  You deserve

a gift from me.

Comment if you wish.
