hope you had a fabulous birthday - it sure sounds like it! we lived in texas when i was younger and we used to make frequent trips to the bluebell creamery - we LOVED it! some of my favorite memories are trips there with my family. when we moved to ga they didn't sell bluebell ice cream here and we were devastated - ha! the day that they finally started carrying it was a joyful day for our entire family!! :)
I love this post...
Choose joy - love it.
Your birthday party theme - love.
Blue Bell Creamery - love. Think I'll join you.
Finish blog books - I need to do the same!!
Your resolution about going to bed on the same day you woke up had me thinking there for a minute. I couldn't figure out what that meant! Ha!
And I heard the Blue Bell Creamery has a really neat swimming place across the street, so the summertime would be the best time to go there.
ooo can i be a part of #4? :)
So fun that y'all went to Gruene... I went there growing up every summer and now it is my and David's favorite weekend getaway place. We stay at Gruene Mansion Inn too!
I'm just now reading this, and although it may be two weeks late, I have to say that your birthday looked fantastic! I'm also with you on the getting places on time. Such a challenge for me alone. Who knows what will happen when I have kids. Eek!
