Belated birthday posts


Okay, so I've got some birthdays that didn't get mentioned on my blog when they should have so this is gonna be a birthday "catch up" post!

This is my niece, Lacey! Her birthday was February 2nd and she turned 24 years old! This picture of her is close to a year old, so I guess I need to get with her and take a more recent picture!

I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Lacey! Love you!

February 2nd was also the birthday of one of my cyber-friends, BonkDawn (Dawn) who lives in Massachussets. Even though I've never met her personally, she is a dear and special friend to me!

February 4th was the birthday of another cyber-friend, Rowarrior (Katy). I actually have met her in person and she lives FAR FAR FAR away in Glasgow. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to meet her when she took a whirlwind tour of the US a couple years ago (has it really been that long????).

I should be ashamed of myself for not taking the time to post a happy birthday to my husband, Roger, who turned 43 back on January 24th! This is one of my favorite pictures of him and Sydney...aren't they so dang cute????


I think he had an okay birthday. He and Sydney got up early and went with his friend Rick to Castleton to Golfsmith and he got a new putter (Syd got a putter, another club, a hat and a shirt???? I think she forgot it was HIS birthday and not hers! LOL), then Sammie and I met them and we had dinner at Loon Lake Lodge. It was so yummy!

January 24th would have also been Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary. I knew it would be a hard day for mom, so Sammie and I decided to go visit her at work and take her some flowers. I included this poem with the flowers:


Mom's Anniversary

Mom, I celebrate with you today
The wonderful love you had
With the loved one you called husband
And the dear one I called Dad.


I know that it is hard for you
To celebrate this day
Without your sweetheart beside you
Since he was called away.


But know that he is with us
In everything we do
For he lives inside of my heart
And in the heart of you.


So many times I see his face
In the eyesight of my heart
And know that of my very being
He has a noble part.


So celebrate with me today
And I will celebrate with you
The goodness of the Lord above
For the husband He gave you.
~Thena Smith

I hope you know I love you and and wish you the happiest of days!!!!

Hugs&Smiles!
Kim
