We had a birthday recently, and I found a bit of blue.
See if you can spot the birthday blue.


A bucket of flowers with birthday wishes graced the table.
There is a bit of blue in some of the letters of the greeting.












Here's the cake before the candles.
It's a four-layered, caramel nut cake from Publix, and it was as good as it looks!
However, not a bit of blue.




Flowers, cake, and ice cream!












Just a bit of blue. makes a Happy, Happy Birthday!



Happy Blue Monday!

Do you know I have a present here with your name on it, and I didn't realize it was your birthday? I have had it here for quite some time, and I just wrapped it. I wish I had known you had one coming up as I would have popped it in the mail!

Hope you had the happiest birthday ever! And didn't Jane send you the most beautiful flowers! And that cake... YUM! Looks like you had a great time, and I'm so happy that you did!

Happy Blue Monday Birthday, dearest Sally!

XO,

Sheila... who is going off to bed and will visit everyone in the morning. We just got in from Cecelia's dance recital, and it's now midnight!

Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage said...

Hi Sally, thinking of you and I miss your comments. I just wanted you to know I will be on a blog break for a week. The gang arrives today. I don't know what I am doing on this computer. I need to get busy and do some grand kid baking. LOTS of cookies. Smile.

Have a wonderful week my friend.
Love ya, Jeanne
