Happy Birthday Momma!
A late in the day blog post: I spent most of the day hanging out with people I met in bloglandia! More on that later, when I can formulate something coherent (and potentially with pictures, if I thieve them from the other ladies' blogs), but, in the meantime...
Happy Birthday Mommala!
You are my most favorite Mommala and I think you are very pretty. This is from Ithaca, nearby one of the downtown waterfalls.
Happy Birthday Mommala!
