A New Decade


Yesterday marked the start of a new decade in my life -- I can officially drop the term "teenager" now. And what should start the day but a beautiful breakfast, made for me by my wonderful sister:





Whole wheat pancakes and hot tea -- what could be better? I had been somewhat sad that I would spend most of the day alone, but my family's birthday greetings certainly brightened my day. Lovely white carnations -- a gift from a friend -- are now doing their best to brighten the kitchen in a vintage milk jug:




The Lord has been so gracious to me in these past nineteen years, and I look forward to where He will lead me in the years to come!

    I didn't know that it was your birthday, Shannon! Happy belated birthday wishes to you!

    Oh my! I just *adore* your tea set! Is it antique? It seems like I saw a few pieces like that at an antique store recently.

    Happy, happy, birthday, Shannon!

    I can't believe you are just turning twenty now...I've thought for a long time that you were several years older than am I.

    And here I am, more than a year older than you are!

    Thank you all so much! :)

    Cheri, the tea set is one we got while in England, but it's not actually antique -- hurray for dishwasher and microwave safe! ;)

    Yours in Christ,
    Shannon
