special delivery from my first niece!

The green envelope had a pot of gold drawn on it, as well as a multicolored rainbow to the right of the address and a shamrock - that looked suspiciously akin to my scribble flower! - taking up the left edge.

Very nice art work!

The card inside boasted a pot bursting with flowers and shamrocks, as well as wording that proclaimed it to be "A wee little wish for St. Patrick's Day".

What was inside that card was the true treasure!

Here's wishing you a day (with her green shooting star!)

that's budding with promise (here, she drew a rainbow!)

bright with celebration (from her shiny, happy sun!)

and blossoming with joy. (and a perky pink flower for me!)

Then, she wrote in six different colors to form another rainbow, with her daughters' names, too!

This will be going on the entertainment center to cheer me for the parade later this morning.

Of course, I read it all aloud when I received it!

After all, I'd just had lunch with Christina and Miyah and we were waiting for a chilly rain shower to pass on by.

We were at Cancun, one of our longtime favorites, and it was even her treat!

And just look at what Miyah has for her luncheon: three crispy beef tacos!!!

Hahahahaha!

That's one of my favorites for Friday Fiestas, but today I had flautas.

One was chicken, the other beef, and both were excellent, as well as pretty, topped with salad!

Christina had one of the combos, plus my bday43 cards for her!

One contained this 'wish puff tree of love', the other $25 to Texas Roadhouse.

That's come in handy for Friday when she and Anthony come to town for a concert that Michael gave her for her birthday yesterday!

Most excellent!!!

Thank you, my dearest Christina, for this time with you...

... and this card with your special touches!

(smile!)
