~ Happy Thanksgiving ~

 

Our beautiful daughter-in-law is

is celebrating her birthday today.

She is a joy to our family, and

we love her.

She & I both celebrate birthdays

in the month of November, and

this year she is half my age.

 

 It is Tuesday, November 17, 2020. 

Is your azalea blooming?

...later in the evening

It was a beautiful day for a birthday...

MY BIRTHDAY!

 Hubs & I raked the front yard for the pine straw. Our flower beds are well bedded-down with straw so we took this extra over to F2’s house for his front yard flower beds. We love helping F2, and we got to see the grand-furs. They were so excited to see us. Glenn took them into the back yard as G & I talked a bit. 

Lazing around reading on the patio was enjoyable. My phone alerted me to text messages of “Happy Birthday!” from friends. As I read the messages, it was so heartwarming to remember special times with the senders. Throughout the week many friends wished me a special day with witty cards. 

FGGIII

Special visits  treated me with…

my favorite...carrot cake

cheesy chicken rice casserole...yum!

beautiful scarf & cross/pearl bookmark

Our way to celebrate birthdays, for us, has always been a low-key affair…dinner & a movie. This birthday was no exception. We ate Papa John’s pizza and enjoyed my birthday chocolate chip pie cookie gift from Papa John’s. Oh my!!! 

Birthdays are just another day. I am so grateful for each day.  

PS…G took me to Lowes, and we purchased 30 stones for me to use around the patio. I am so excited!

 

An early morning walk in the backyard where the cool dew touches your feet and leftover summer plant blooms greet you, a sigh of loving wonder is interrupted by a skein of geese heading to their morning gathering over at the lake. You turn your head upward as they honk and to watch the V-formation and just…..smile.
