When I came home from my birthday massage, I arrived to find

…both stairways blocked with signs and tape.
I ducked under and climbed the stairs.
I arrived at the door and read these signs taped to the screen door.

To the left on the railing were chips and fresh water!
The chips were covered with a paper towel….a surprise for me!
I knocked.
There was a timer, so I would be sure to wait one full minute.
I heard: “You can come in now!”
I opened the door to a neatly wrapped laundry basket.
And out popped…
My youngest boy!!!!
Shouting “Happy Birthday!”
And throwing messages in the air!

Thanks. 🙂 It was happy 🙂
I do so miss those small miracles. Having grown children is wonderful as it says I have successfully graduated and am now a proud parent who managed to raise full-grown successful kids (one a computer guru with a strong spiritual interest and the other a PH.D.-as of next Saturday!). However, I still miss some of those things.
