Good Day my dear friends and readers....May I also wish a happy 4
th of July to my United States of America
brethren! I hope there is a doodle in your Yankee as you celebrate our country's birthday!
Tomorrow....on July 5, 2010 is my 40
th birthday. Good thing is, I don't feel any different in any way from today than I felt 19 years ago when I turned 21.....or 24 year ago when I turned sweet 16....I honestly feel the same and arise each morning filled with that same happiness and hope that I felt when I was a much younger me. I have been blessed with many things throughout my 40 years on this earth, but most especially my health, my faith, my family and my flag. So to celebrate 40 years of
Vonna :)
*hardy har, har...* I stitched a wee little pretty to represent me and without further ado here it is:
