I haven't had much computer time lately for a number of reasons - asthma issues with my 6-year-old being the biggest one. As much as my family loves springtime, we always know there's bound to be a new growth/pollen complication or two. Before the problems arrived we did manage to have a lovely day for my birthday - we went to a park an hour north of us and spent the day exploring it's eerily impressive Indian burial mounds. This was followed by a self-guided tour of the Lottie Cooper, one of the only Lake Michigan shipwrecks (or any shipwreck, for that matter) that is on displayed on land. The day was topped off with a stop at the dollar store, where we stocked up on frog-catching nets, beachballs, and cute checkered tea towels. A fine day, indeed!
Are you familiar with that line above from Deanna Carter's song Strawberry Wine? I think about it every birthday...usually with both a smile and tear!

So sorry to hear about the asthma with your child! This season has been a tough one here with weather and pollen!
Is today your 30th birthday? I remember when that was old too - and now I remember when that was young :-)
I hope your child feels better ♥
Wishing you a Happy Belated Birthday!
Glad to hear your six yr old is better - the tree pollen has been especially difficult here...
and are you thirty today? How wonderful! happy birthday! - and your outing sounded great.
Nan, Erin & Susan,
Thank you for the birthday greetings - I wish I was only thirty! I actually turned 37.
I just listened to a snippet at iTunes, and then read the lyrics. Really beautiful. Thank you for the introduction to a new-to-me singer/songwriter. Geez, I can barely remember 30. :<) When I was 37, my youngest was born. And now, he and my daughter are much closer to 30 than me! Age and numbers and time are so inexplicable to me.
