My happy day....

I'm starting where it all ended, at Acoustic Coffeehouse with small people playing "make-up-your-own-rules" chess,



a surprise visit by the Lost Mountain String Band, which gets you right up out of your seat for some dancing. The guitarist is a local unschooling Dad...very cool!:)



We chilled and chatted with good friends,

while Sierra designed Hug Buttons for the willing (thanks to Cameron Lovejoy for such a wonderful and sweet idea)



My Birthday was filled with people I love,

beautiful views, sunshine


and smiling kids.

(don't they look especially happy here?)
But one of the best parts about turning 38 years old?

I feel strong......

....and beautiful.

and that's worth celebrating any day. Happy birthday to me, and Rue and Sharon.......two of my other favorite people in the world. Thank you to everyone that called or wrote or sang to me, you all made my day, including Dante the dog who sang to me from Alaska. Much love and gratitude to you all. I am truly wealthy beyond measure.
