Friday Favorite Things

friday favorite things | finding joy
These are a few of my favorite things this week
Dinner with my son's family and friends--grandson  at end of table, granddaughter next to me, DIL across from me.
On a hot June 22nd a few years back, actually 44 years ago, I had a sweet, independent little girl.  She has always kept me real.
She is a talented computer programmer, whose motto seems to be "get er done"
She took me on an Alaskan cruise--this is the ships lounge.
She got married at sunset on Kauai (Hawaii) last year--she took the whole family.
She is spontaneous.  So happy birthday, sweet, independent, opinionated daughter.

  10. Oh, but you're so fortunate to have your family near! I'd like to join the "Happy Birthday to You" choir for your daughter, if I may? Love to hear more about that Alaskan cruise someday.

    PS - That taco salad sitting in front of you looks amazingly delish!
