My Friday Finds . . .

My oldest son turns 45 today!  It hardly seems possible.  Wasn't it just yesterday he was turning one?  I am so grateful for this son of mine and all that he is and does.  He's a great dad, a great husband, a good friend.  I appreciate all the efforts he takes and makes to ensure his boys know who I am. He's a brilliant cook and a good and kind person with a heart of gold. I hate that I have to live so far away from him.  I hope that he has a lovely  Birthday, and that it is filled to overflowing with blessings large and small.  Love you very much Anthony!  Happy Birthday! Being your mum has been one of the greatest blessings in my life.
