meet me at the dock: and wear your party hat

Not a bad day, right?

The universe certainly pulls out all the stops on Febraury 11th...and what a gift she is to all of us.

In celebration of her birthday, we are doing it up right and surrounding her with sunshine, ocean views, music, dancing, swimming and delicious dining. It goes without saying that Elizabeth spends so much of her time giving, encouraging, assisting, supporting and loving those around her, and it's about time she gets to be on the recieving end of all that kind of goodness. Although she insists on doing the cooking while we are here. But Michelle and I admit we LOVE it when she does because, well, that's a whole other area of her life where she truly knocks it out of the ballpark. Can you say homemade twice baked potatos, chicken salad, and a lunch buffet that puts us to shame with a dismissive "oh, this is nothing" wave of her hand.
