Be Present

These are the coupons my daughter made for me; Really sweet:
Wild cards will probably be used, when I am running errands.
I will call her up and ask her to start supper/dinner.   I usually
asks her to make pizza crust or line up ingredients for me. We need to have some more cooking lessons this summer.  My plan is to make her favorites, first...she won't forget these! 


 



I also received, the usually, $, but some books and this
cute journal.  I found it online at Rebecca's Thrift Shop.  I love
Rebecca Sower's work.   One book is by Elizabeth Berg on how to write true, be authentic.  The other book is" How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci"  this was recommended to me in an art class.    It looks interesting..




I also received a gift of torture, well I don't know yet, but it sure looks like it has the potential..
Cake, books, a journal, $ome money and torture, sounds like an ideal
birthday to me...lol




I will share some of the exercises from the books, with all of you...it will be interesting!

those cards from your daughter were fantastic! ...hmmm:) those of us here in Bloggerville might start getting ideas with that concept. isn't it amazing that children can teach/give lessons to/for adults?

Lovely gifts! I love it when kids do something like that! :)

Looks like a GREAT birthday! I especially love the coupons from your daughter. What I wouldn't give for "stop talking back" on a card I could just redeem. Books and money rank high for me too (the torture stuff I already like... it is my only fitness strength--that I love to GO) Glad it was great!
