Happy Birthday Laura

NYC and Ohio Finds

A day where my sister and daughter saw red.

I love that they added to the abandoned furniture collection with such bright colors. .

Mary saw this red couch in NYC
Laura took this pic in Columbus yesterday
Charlie wanted to photograph the pair of red chairs too.

It’s your birthday

Dear Laura,

May your birthday be the beginning of a happy new year. You are a lovely daughter.

Love, Mom

The Happiest of Birthdays

We’re celebrating my daughter Laura’s birthday today. It’s been an entire happy week of excitement as August first was the arrival of grandson Roy Samuel (weighing in at exactly six pounds) I’ve been fortunate to be here with the family this week.

Happy Birthday, Laura. ❤️ love, Ma

It’s Your Birthday!


Have a great day!
