Counting My Cards and Blessings

Our anniversary and my daughter's and my Birthday stack up right next to each other in September. Here was today's Birthday blessings at my office by my wonderful co-worker and friend, Carol. She knows my weakness: PUMPKIN SCONES...

and she knows about the OTHER weakness,... well, that is obviously YARN. She found me some fantastic alpaca in Boise, Idaho. Squishy! And a cute handknit card that reads:   

And on the inside it reads:"Me neither." Perfect.

Also, another friend Sue knows one of  my OTHER weaknesses (gee, I have alot of weaknesses...) and that is Fainting Goat GELATO. YUM. Oh, and JEWELRY. Another weakness. How many does that make?

 When I look at the array of cards jamming up my kitchen window for our anniversary and my Birthday, I think to myself, each one represents someone special in my life, in our lives. How very blessed are we to have all these people in our lives.
