Hope all had a great weekend.  I sure did.

As many of you know, Friday was my birthday.

Stacy treated me to an extraordinary lunch at a very upscale Mexican restaurant + brought a bag of cool gifts!  We're talking body spray, scarf to wrap on my bag, a super cool market bag that looks like an old school brown paper bag - but not,  candles ...
We hung out and enjoyed each other's company and Cervezas for several hours and found laughter - lots of it.

And then Carol and Toby rolled up in their Rolls Royce bearing gifts - a beautiful bouquet of flowers - colors of lime green, lavender, peach and white in a keepsake tea cup + Carol's one-of-a-kind piece of watercolor art birthday card featuring a lineup of cowboy boots (I will be framing this card and find a perfect spot for it) + a fabulous, decorative recipe box that I will put the best of the best recipes in it.

My mom and sisters gifted me the cutest skirt EVER from Title Nine.
Pretty sure I'll be sporting that skirt for the rest of the summer and probably into fall.

AND!!
So many texts + calls from friends and family (songs) wishing me a happy birthday.
I love and adore you all.

I am so spoiled!
Feel like royalty.

Thank you Stacy, Carol and Toby, and Beautiful Friends and Family for your giant love remembering my day.
Bet Mick Jagger didn't have such a grand day as I!

Yep, it's warm (some whine -  hot) around these parts.
Same as I'm guessing around your neck of the woods.  Ha!

It's the end of July about to be August.
It's a given that the thermometer and outside the door temperatures let us know it's just that time of year.
Just like this time last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and ...
Zero chance it'll be sweatshirt weather next week - not so fast - but coming soon.

Collected these FASCINATINGS to share today!
