Today my mom and I shared our birthday together starting with breakfast at the beach with my dad... is there anything better? It's about ten degrees cooler than usual here (high 60's-low 70's) for this time of the year, so we sort of bundled up and enjoyed the sunshine! I love being here with my mom for our birthday... I'm so thankful for every year we have together... lots more years to come!
What a gorgeous day!
We browsed in some shops on Anna Maria Island and then stopped at the beach...
Not too many people out on a chilly day! I waded in the water and found a couple sand dollars but we'll have to come back next week when it warms up to the 80's again.
My husband sent me these beautiful flowers! I think he's a keeper!
All the birthday wishes on Facebook have really made my day special! Thank you, thank you!! It's been a happy day - heard from both of my boys... what more does a mom need?!!

Gorgeous flowers. You have a nice husband. Glad you got to be with your Mom and enjoy the beach. have a great week.

Oh no! I missed your birthday! Soooooo sorry :( I'm glad you had fun with your mom and dad and I send you happy belated birthday wishes and pray you have a lovely trip. I know you'll be gone a couple of weeks, but I look forward to getting together when you get back. Jeremy's girlfriend is a doll. She looks familiar to me. And I continue to pray for Brandon.
xo,
Lynn

Lucky you to be on Anna Maria Island, especially for your birthdays!! I was there 2 1/2 years ago with my younger son and his family and we loved it!!! They always vacation in Florida, although that was a first for A.M. Island. It was my 4th visit to florida- I live on the We(s)t Coast of Canada.
Hoping to go to Florida again in the Spring. Enjoy yourselves.
