we have a birthday today...

 Today is my dear mom's 82nd birthday.  As I can't be with her to take her to our traditional birthday lunch, I did send her a lovely bag from Uncommon Goods.  I thought it would be perfect for her to take on the plane when my parents leave for Florida in January.  That being said, "Happy Birthday, dear mom!  You are an amazing mother and grandmother and person...always giving and happy and positive about life.  May your day and year be filled with joy and happiness!"
