Happy Birthday to Me

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I am so looking forward to a day of shopping for fabric that I don't need, it is the gift I give myself every year. I love having a spring birthday, it is always such a beautiful happy time of the year. My mother always made birthdays the best day of the year, despite having a very large family and very little money. My sisters and brother, we all got to be queen (and king) for a day, choosing the dinner for that night, picking out our favorite cake and helping to make it. I don't remember a single present from childhood, but those precious moments of discussing menus with my mom are very dear to me.
