My blue skies have been a little gray lately, but I'm back. Happy day after Valentine's. Anyone else stay home with chocolate and their books? Lol. 🖤 📚

I do believe that is my first ever Dutch birthday greeting. My goodness... thank you! You seem pretty darn awesome, too!

You're awesome! Thank you!!!! 🖤

the bird on the lilypad says "Shelly, you survivor, you! Many happy returns! Love the leopard print!!"

Thank you! Hope you are doing well!

So... I turned 44 over the weekend. I never thought I'd be alive this long. I've never been able to picture myself older. But, here I am. It definitely beats the alternative. 🖤

Mine makes a tweeting sound usually when I turn. Music up. 🎶 😆

On my way to my door to pickup packages bought during black friday.

Yep. That sounds about perfect your way...maybe minus the wind if it's intense... Great writing weather. 📚

It's a chilly, rainy December day in North Carolina. I love it! How is it your way?

I wanna see you in NC so bad!! I've got the image saved on my phone. 😆

Lol. I was the same way. I'd love to hear what you think when you do watch it!

I have to say, I absolutely loved Slotherhouse. I hate I waited this long to watch it.. it's terrible. It's great. It's terribly great.
