Cards
Remember how I said I was going to have a Birthday Week? Well, it’s turned out to be more like a Birthday Fortnight, if you’ll excuse the anglicism. I came home to tons of cards and presents, and you know I opened them before I unpacked. I may not be Birthday Suzy anymore, but I am still Suzy, after all.
I decided to display all the cards at once, since the ones I acquired on the road had mostly been packed and dragged along hither and yon instead of being admired as they should be, and I know how much I hate that. They also create a nice game of dominoes for the cats, who knock them over and run away, knowing that I’ll rack ’em up again in no time and they can play again.
So here they are, along with the absolutely gorgeous flowers from Candi which totally made my day. Though I give flowers fairly often, I rarely receive them, so it was especially thoughtful. But what else would I expect from someone who’s practically my sister?
However, my absolute favorite was in the long envelope in the front from Colin. It is an absolutely hysterical letter supposedly from Oprah herself, and with a gold lining in the envelope, no less. I laughed so hard I nearly cried.
I’m convinced that Colin is secretly an English professor from Yale.
