This was probably one of the best birthdays I have had yet. I awoke Friday morning to beautiful cards from Daddy and Maddy. (Maddy even signed her own!) Then off to work I went waiting for the nights festivities at Polari's... yummy.
Dad, Nana Pam, Nana, Ray, Maddy and I all met up at Polari's for a delicious dinner, and great laughs. I was lavished with presents, including this beautiful Pandora bracelet from Nana, Ray, and Maddy:
This bracelet also came with a beautiful bag...
Nana tried to claim it as hers, but Ray wouldn't let that happen. :)
I had such a wonderful night, surrounded by people that mean the world to me. (I was also subjected to the entire restaurant signing the Polcari's birthday song, but that's OK... I"ll forgive them!)
Saturday morning of this Midsummer Weekend was sectioned mostly to chores, errands, and general lunacy.
Papa came over and within hours had constructed this beautiful garden. Nana, Ray, and I stood back in awe.
After the clean-up Maddy gave Papa a "hi-five" and Ray and I were off to buy his suit.
Sunday morning:
Amanda: "Let's gather everything in the house, go to the laundromat, purchase those beautiful little Tide boxes, take $ 30 in quarters and wash anything machine washable."
Papa: Ugh... OK....
Ray: This sounds ridiculous.
3-hours later, a damp pile of comforters, and a freshly stocked fridge screamed: TAKE A NAP! As I laid my head down for a quick snooze, I awoke at 5pm. Err.
So, I made Grandma Bridgie's chicken tortilla soup for the family and settled in for the night.
Visions of Tide boxes danced in our heads.
