Today my oldest daughter, Shera, turned 14!  For her birthday, she chose the menu for the day, which consisted of:  breakfast - chocolate gravy and biscuits; lunch - pasta salad; and dinner - restaurant of her choosing (Steak & Ale) with only her daddy and me.  She and I shopped all afternoon.  First to Walmart, where she bought a purse and a cross-stitch project (for me to do for her, lol!); then to Circuit City, where she bought a game for the Game Cube; and then to Michaels where she bought new paintbrushes and some watercolor pencils.  After Steak & Ale we headed to the bookstore where she bought three books.  She had a wonderful day!  And the best part was that all of it cost us nothing because she used all the gift cards she received from Christmas!   The only thing we paid for, of course, was the meal at Steak & Ale, and hubby used his Christmas money to pay for that.  What a sweetie!

Here's a pic of the birthday girl and me today before we left for dinner: 

I am very blessed!
