Today is Molly's birthday. She is now 10 years old. Molly announced to Christina that as she is now into double digits, she is close to a teenager, so she needed a big girl bedroom. No more pink little girl walls. Molly's birthday gift from Christina was to paint her walls a soft gray, appropriate for a big girl. In addition, Molly received a new bedspread, to get rid of her animal quilt. And I shopped for her at The Mississippi Craft Center, just down the road from us. I had such fun, buying her lovely objects, perfect for a big girl room, all hand made by Mississippi artisans.
We gave her a beautiful small hanging shelf, made of several types of wood. It is perfect for her small treasures and will serve her for a lifetime. All the rest of the gifts were breakable to be used on her shelf or dresser. She loved them all.
Her birthday dinner we held at our home. Pizza was Molly's choice. Linda came for the celebration. And Christina baked a cranberry almond cake, Molly's favorite, and mine too. Our party for seven was splendid. When everyone left, the kitchen was clean. We do appreciate Kate and Mary Frances, who are both good helpers. Molly left us a happy 10 year old, where tomorrow she will place her new objects into her new big girl bedroom. Before our meal, we each silently gave our own thanks to God for our good food, and for our Molly. For one night, we became Quakers. Being 10 is special and we all celebrated it together.
