As many of you know, this is the week I turn another year older as well as enter a new decade; it is so hard to believe I can possibly be turning 60. Today a group of girlfriends took me to a small cafe in a nearby town; a town I hadn't explored before, a town filled with quaint buildings as well as some small and some very large homes. I absolutely love back roads and spending time with friends makes my heart sing.
This the towns old Grange Hall that is still in use. The photo doesn't do it justice because the brick work was so awesome.
The small cozy coffee cafe-such fun; they even had gluten free muffins etc. This may become a new favorite place.
Most of the gals are from my ladies bible study and each lady is so precious!
From left to right- Ann, Carla, me, Jeanne and Kim. Love each lady there.
One of the back roads we explored; now I've got to find a day to take hubby on an adventure.
The gals spoiled me with a bracelet, necklace, stationary, plant and welcome sign. The entire week isn't filled with parties but there are a couple of more; I'm not one for huge parties but getting together with family and loved ones is the best present of all. Thursday is the big day and I'm embracing this new year, thankful for each and every blessing.
Joy to you~
Noreen

Hi Noreen I have been meaning to get over to your blog for some time. Glad I made it before your big birthday! You are looking great for a soon to be 60 year old! I am right behind you! I will be 60 in July!
ReplyDeleteYour lunch party sounded great! What pretty views of the town. Sorry Reggie is not doing so great - such are the ups and downs of life with our precious pups.
Halle is at the beginning of her medical regime. I will do all I can for her & enjoy every day. Gave my mom the update & treatment plan (Halle was her dog) & she is fine with it.
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!
