Two in One

Today is Liberation Day in Kuwait and a day off from school and work.  It's also my 46th birthday.  This year we have a 4-day weekend, then back to school on Tuesday for a short 3-day week.  That's like two gifts in one.
It's been a quiet day. I got my wish for better weather, so hubby and I were able to walk for an hour this afternoon, and Jingles was able to do some exploring on the balcony.
Rather than having birthday cake, I baked up some sugar cookies with sprinkles.  So yummy!
My 13-year old son downloaded sheet music and played the birthday song for me on his saxophone.  He did pretty good for his first try.
.  
Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes my way.

Wishing you a wonderful day.

    I didn't know it was your birthday until I read this. Happy Birthday!! I would have liked to have held at 46, but it will be my 48th this November. :)

    Hope you have a wonderful day of celebration. Birthdays are big deals at our house.

    Wishing you many blessings,
    Linda

    Dearest Tammy,
    Hah, a serenade by your youngest on his saxophone!
    Bet that made both parents happy & proud...
    The son of my best friend in the Netherlands plays also the sax. Not professionally but as a passionate hobby.
    Glad you could walk!
    We will do that now too...
    Love to you,
    Mariette

    PS My best friend and I are Friends as long as you live... More than a ruby anniversary...
