Back from Berea

Hello, dear blogfriends. I'm finally back in the blogosphere after a wonderful weekend out of town with husband, daughter, and granddaughters celebrating Abandoned in Pasadena's big birthday. We had a great weekend and we enjoyed visiting with everyone. There were presents, songs by two little angels, many enjoyable meals out with family, and a very entertaining mariachi band. The highlight was the birthday girl having a sombrero plunked on her head while being serenaded by four singing mariachis. A fun time was had by all.

After the birthday party, some went to get their hair cut, some went to play with computers, and Sandy and I visited all the Old Town craft shops. Even though it was her birthday, guess who received a present?

This little beauty was a custom stained glass panel created by a lady in Winchester, Kentucky. We were informed that this was the last piece she created and she is now no longer working with stained glass. That makes this piece entitled Ocean's Breeze more valuable. I think it is very beautiful and I will cherish it forever.

Thank you, Sandy, for the lovely present. We had such a wonderful time visiting you and it was a joy sharing your birthday.
