Holly's XXXVIIIth Birthday!

I (Holly) had a great birthday today.  It started out normal with the usual 6:15 walk with our neighbor.  Back home I had a box of surprises from Steve and the boys.  Sliver slug earrings - the latest in fashion in the NW, a beautiful stepping stone for our garden, a lovely glass piece to hang in the window - and not break this time, some toys for my office, and the most amazing card ever.

At work, my office turned into Camp Denniston.  A campfire, hammock, camp chairs replacing office chairs (nothing like having a meeting sitting by a fire in a camp chair!), lanterns, bug sounds, mess kits, camp stoves, etc.  My staff went all out.  A bunch of other coworkers came by mid-morning to sing Happy Birthday around the campfire (with their faces illuminated by flashlights!), have bird nests and s'mores and drink hot chocolate.  What a great start to a great year!

  1. This sounds like a perfect day to me full of fun and gifts. Camp Denniston is just such a creative and fun idea. I bet you wish it could stay like that year around. I'm glad you had such a great day.
