Great Birthday!!!

Last Saturday (7/31) was my birthday and  my husband had a great day planned out.  We went do dinner to my favorite Italian restaurant (Carrabba's)  with great friends of ours Janet and Donnie. We had so much fun and the food was DIVINE!!!
Now I have to tell y'all I LOVE Paula Deen!!!! I've met her and both of her son's in person and let me tell you they are the nicest people. She even sat down at the table and talked to us. I was so excited!! What you see on TV is not an act she is just as nice in person.
I have every one of her books and most of them are signed so they mean a lot to me. Well she has a new installment and it's a decorating book. It is a gorgeous book with beautiful pictures and Freddie got it for me for my birthday!!! (he knows me well)I LOVE this book!!

cookbook 7
cookbook 10
But that's not all. He new I was looking at a primitive display on ebay and guess what? He surprised me with it!!! Oh my goodness I just LOVE it!!! These pictures do not do this justice. The display came with everything you see here.
It came with the board, old metal water pump, wooden bowl, soap with stained cheese cloth, and sweet annie.

Thank you so much honey for making my day such a wonderful one!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

This is an older picture. I wish I had remembered to take my camera to dinner but I forgot it. I'll post current photo's soon. I just wanted you to see the best thing that has ever happened to me...the LOVE of my life!!! Can you tell we are both Cherokee?
Next time I'll be posting Summer Time pictures of my yard.
Blessings,
Dana
