Today, I’ve Got Nothing . . .

IMG_4269

Except the most ginormous, delicious lemon bar ever.  Want a bite?  I’m gonna eat it here in the car parked right in front of Mom’s Apple Pie where I bought it. And I’m going to get powdered sugar all over my pants and face without caring. Admit it, you’re jealous. 

I’ve got a birthday to pull together today.  My Hubby is turning 40 on Sunday.  It’s a big deal. At least to me.

I was looking at all the lines on his face last night {no, we aren’t calling them wrinkles around here}.  They represent 16 years of laughing at and putting up with me. And 13 years of children.  And 24 years before any of us were really a factor in his life, but other people helped him create his story. I love his lines.  They tell of trials, of joy and of sorrow.  They are only a small part of what makes him an amazing man.  I really love him more than pretty much anything else. Even more than the lemon bar.

Have a great weekend!

Lemon bar, I crave you.
Dragonfly Hubby, I admire you.
Lines, you tell the story
that started some 41 years ago.

I've just caught up on reading the last week or so of your blogs and I'd say that that lemon square is very well deserved by you.

Enjoy. Every. Bite.

Anything lemon is good in my book! Tell Travis Happy Birthday for me please!

One of my favorite treats! Enjoy.

Lines beautifully expressed. Hope you all have a lovely birthday weekend.

Explain to me how you stay so teeny-tiny, and then send me one of those awesome lemon bars. Stat.

That is one huge lemon bar, how many calories.....oh that many.

Travis, he has lines I've never noticed.

40 years is just a start to what I hope will be a VERY LONG and continually satisfying and happy life.

You'll have to share what you end up doing for T's birthday...I know you will do it up right! Adam's 40ieth is coming up just around the corner in May, so I'm starting to think about how to celebrate. Can you believe we have husbands this old?? It's so much better when they can break in the big number before we have to. ;)

You need some sugar as energy for preparing that birthday party. And happy birthday to your husband!

A great big lemon bar . . . hmm, leave it to you, Sam to think of that heavenly kick-off for a big project. I drive past a Mom's Apple Pie two to three times each week. Oh, dear, now that I know these await inside, I am beginning to feel an overwhelming gravitational pull.
Happy wishes for the birthday boy.

Ummm... I know I should be commenting on Travis' bday, but really I'm remembering this photo... oh-so-well :). (sorry about the powdered sugar in the car, Travis!)

and plus I actually just went online, half an hour ago, to try to see if the Mom's Apple Pie lemon bar recipe was perhaps posted online. Nope. Argh.
