Just passing along the good news...





Tomorrow morning- between 4 am and 10:30 am (or until pastries run out) Starbuck's is offering free pastries with the purchase of a beverage. Sounds like a nice way to jumpstart the day, if you ask me! Although I guarantee you I won't be headed to my nearest Starbuck's anytime before 7 am. =)
In bigger news...
Happy Birthday to my MOM!!
Feel free to leave her a birthday wish here today. She's turning the big 6-0, but you didn't all hear it from me! In honor of her being the youngest 60 year old person I know, and also for the fact that I wouldn't be here and you wouldn't read this blog if it weren't for her, I'd like for 60 of you to leave her a birthday wish in the comments. She claims she's my biggest fan and she is an avid reader of this blog even though she won't turn on a computer herself. =) I happen to find that endearing, Mom. Among a million other things I love about you. Like your zucchini bread recipe- which I made today while I was thinking of you.
I wish you a whole lot of love, Joy and happiness in your life.
From me and all the Nitty.Gritty. Family.... Happy Birthday today!
We love you so much!

  47. 60 is only a number to be ignored unless that is your weight. Hope she is feeling great about having a birthday and not worrying about the number.
    Happy Belated Birthday to Jody's mom!
    Saying a prayer for health and happiness. As a mom who doesn't live in the same state as one child, I know just being together is a blessing. Hope you are able to be together sometime soon.
