A Memorable Summer

I was so excited when I saw that World Magazine had a special issue to commemorate my 40th birthday! Okay - maybe it was not specifically to commemorate MY birthday but I love the cover and it is a perfect thing to put in my scrapbook for a 40th birthday page besides a picture of me with a princess crown with the number "40" on it. What can I say - I would rather be a princess at 40 than "Over the Hill".

The best thing about turning 40 was my birthday present - a house! Well maybe it was not my present but our escrow did close on my birthday, so I am claiming it as mine. It has been 5 years since we owned a house and we are so glad to be home owners again, even with all the fix it projects. My friend (Lisa) called our house a diamond in the rough and I have to agree.
