At one point, during all the very noisy bustle, it was announced that I had a birthday surprise, and had to cover my eyes for a few minutes while they brought it in.
Now, I've been campaigning hard for a new puppy, but want to wait until after summer vacations are over. When they were all talking about how heavy my present was and did they need a dolly to get it in, etc, and then there were lots of shhhh-s-ing noises, I was pretty convinced that, OH NO, they had gotten the dog early.
So when I turned and looked, I looked for a dog crate. None. A big heavy box. None. They all stood there in their "ta-da!!" poses and ... nothing. Then a voice said...
"MOM! IT'S ME!"
Total shock.My daughter had come up from Florida for a birthday surprise.
Best.Birthday.
Surprise.
EVER.
It was a great weekend, even if it was over with too soon, with everybody going home on Sunday.
Best EVER. (Good enough that I'm willing to show the totally unflattering photos!)

Well, Belated Birthday Girl, you've given me tears in my eyes at 5:30 on a Saturday morning--clearly, THAT young woman has never had to worry for one nanosecond whether her mother loves her ;D. Amazing, unforgettable photos.
No need to say I hope you had a happy day!
