Birthday cake, after takeout Indian food, consumed with family and neighbors, all sharing wonderful stories of the new grown-up as a baby ("Look at how young you guys were!" was perhaps my favorite quote) and themselves as eighteen year olds. Some of the stories made me even more grateful for the kind of eighteen year old I have! There were playing toddlers, the eighteen year olds of tomorrow -- and that's about how fast it feels!
She wasn't the only one to get a gift yesterday, though. The nice people at Home and Garden TV gardens (whew!) sent over a product for me to try, and I'm sold.
It's Worker B Rescue Putty. So great -- beeswax, honey, and olive oil. It's similar to a balm I made but the honey makes it much creamier. Maybe I'll finally heal my winter-rough cuticles. And I'd still be happy to blog for the nice HGTV folks, OR be a subject for a makeover show, just sayin'. . . Anyhow, if you ever wonder, "Should I buy this product for my very own hands?" the answer is probably heck, yeah!!
Eventually I will get back to blogging the garden, as my bird-defeating netting finally showed up!

Your daughter is gorgeous, and cake and Indian food sounds like an awesome birthday! How cool is it that she is "about to embark on the rest of her life"?! That smile will take her great places, good luck to her and good job mama!
WOW! She's all grown up all right and what a smile. Happy Birthday Super "S."
Erin, thanks. When it comes to food, that girl has taste. We had a great time, and it's fun watching her launch.
Kristin, I know -- you know how fast it goes.
She's a beauty! And I would wager that she's smart too. Beauty and brains, she's all set. I wish her luck.
I do hope you get back to blogging, I've mssed you!
Michelle, thanks. You know, I kind of forget that it might show up to other people when I just faff around here whining instead of blogging.
Lovely girl - happy birthday! My daughter turned 21 this week (Thursday) and she too makes me so proud of how good of a person she has grown into - despite me most of the time I think.
mmm cake :)
WOW!
