My 40th Birthday and What I'm Now Reading

So I turned 40 this week. Eeek! I can hardly believe it! No, it doesn't feel any different, but I see a lot more gray hairs than I did just 2 years ago. I now have to have my glasses on to read...didn't used to not too long ago. I guess this is the age when the first signs of "aging" creep in for most of us. There are some lucky ones out there who are blessed with looking and feeling youthful longer. But no matter...I'm still very blessed and have much to be thankful to God for!

Above is (what's left) of an icecream cake my sweet mom made me. It was GOOD! :)




This is a pocketbook my sister got me. I love owls.





I started reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett this week. It's a very good read so far. I found myself laughing outloud at some points. At the same time, it highlights the very real struggles that African-Americans endured in this country during segregation. It's hard to understand the mistreatment and prejudice. :(





The next book I plan on reading is Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen. I want to read it before going to see the movie. The reviews I've read so far are good.




Well, I have blueberry cookies in the oven I have to tend to. They smell good too.




God Bless,


Lorrie
