Happy 16th wedding Anniversary to my dear friend, Jennifer and hubby John. They’re on the road to their new digs on the left coast. Pray for their safe travels.

It’s a great day to be celebrating - the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist! I ought to know, I’ve been celebrating this day for 30-something years.

I got a lovely pancake breakfast, followed by a drive alone with my darling husband. The windows were down to let in the early spring air, and the sun is shining. We popped into a car dealership to look at a replacement bus (the Gadbus is no more) and I think we might have found a gem.

We returned home to luncheon, and pink (!!) cupcakes that were baked, frosted and sprinkled by my dear children. I opened presents from each including handmade coupons for lots of lovely treats, handmade bookmarks, two sweet handknit mouse sachets (designed by my very talented daughter), a bag of Werthers, Jane Eyre on DVD, and… a gift certificate for a 1 hour massage at the gym we belong to!

I’ve had emails and cards from friends far and near. I’m feeling very loved. Even the scale gave me a gift this morning - it told me that I have lost FOUR pounds this week! Yes, it’s a wonderful day to celebrate!

I hope you have a blessed day with your family, too!
