Early Birthday Gifts

Tomorrow I am 50 years old. I don't know how I feel about that but we will see! Yesterday, I went to my friend Hetty's for the afternoon as per usual. I do this every Sunday. We chat, cross stitch and generally watch a movie.

Yesterday was a bit different because another dear friend, Gail, from Perth arrived for a cuppa too. I was duly presented with two early presents. Gail's early gift I could understand. I won't see her tomorrow but I am having lunch with Hetty! She never can hang on to a gift once she has it for you. I have experienced this on more than one occasion.

Hetty has gifted me with Kasey Chambers' book "A little Bird Told Me..." She knows I like Kasey Chambers and I am really looking forward to sitting down and reading it. For thos of you who don't know who Kasey is, she is my favourite Australian Country Singer.

Gail presented me with a beautiful hand embroidered wall hanging featuring 9 different tea pots. She knows how I love my pot of tea! It is truly an inspiring gift. I was thrilled to bits with it!
