Basking In the Glow

What a way to end a lovely birthday. Sitting memorized by the light of the fire on a crisp autumn evening.....sounds just like a page from a fairy tale.

My special night started with a delicious dinner at the Texas Roadhouse Grill. If you go, I highly recommend the sirloin kabobs:) Then there was the rousing birthday song served up by the wait staff~ "It's your birthday, HOT DOG" ~ Well that just says it all now doesn't it.

When we got home, I was in for a real treat....my son went running out and jumped in his power wheels jeep, he drives over to the deck pulling his little red wagon loaded up with a box of fire starter logs....HUH? we don't have a fire place. I am instructed to follow him, where I am lead to my new FIRE PIT!!!! I have wanted one of this since, well, FOREVER!

OH , but I am a happy girl:) So I ended my day curled up in my old Adirondack, basking in the glow of the beginning of a new year.

Thank you Honey, I LOVE IT!!

Rhonda: It sounds like a lovely birthday celebration. I just decided on Sunday that I need a fire pit for my patio. I hope you enjoy yours. I'll be looking forward to hearing and seeing more about it.

What an awesome birthday present! You look very cozy there by the fire in your chair. I'll bet you spend a lot of lovely nights there sipping warm drinks and enjoying the quiet evenings.

Hugs,
Dena
