The Birthday Series: Part Four (final)

It turned out to be a nice day after all (it started out cloudy, then the sun came out and it ended up being rather nice - a little humid and buggy but all in all pretty pleasant)

My friend Jen spent the majority of the afternoon here at the house... We snacked and sipped and laughed and actually touched on some serious topics, too - nice to share the day with a good friend, just taking it easy

Here are some birthday sentiments, courtesy of:
