A few pictures from my birthday. Thank you everyone for all your wishes, love and prayers sent. I was so blessed with my new friends and husband.
Butter cream cake (from scratch) with fresh flowers and paper bead necklace and she has matching dishes enough for 14 ( we have 2 non matching dishes) but now have 4 matching cups a birthday gift . Heidi also made a chocolate vanilla cheese cake too. Making the cream cheese from scratch. They have solar power but only have the fridge and freezer hooked up to it they eat by candles.
I love it when people have food priorities.
The gift of music. Kristoff is a Tuba player and played happy birthday and
then a German song of blessing. I cried.
