Birthday Presents!!!!!

Daughter gave me a cookbook with delicious looking recipes to try...My favorite T.V. chef is.....Ina Garten! Ina, do you know your show is my most favorite!!!???
This is a page out of a book I really wanted (sorry 'bout the glow)...
"The Snow Globe Family"....daughter bought me this. I collect snow globes....how fitting, huh???
Two books. One for when I'm feeling "mature" and one for when I'm feeling like a kid (the snow globe book is for ages 3-5!!)....go figure!!
I received other lovely gifts too. These books were from daughter. She also hosted a fabulous cookout at a park today since the temp was in the upper 70's!!! Isn't she something....my daughter....I love her so♥ Chat with you later....
