had a wonderFULL birthday…

started early in the morning with a hot tub where I listened to sparrows and blue jays and watched geese flying over…

talked to my kids here and away, and made a few plans for my trip to Ottawa…

then out for brunch with my BS friends…

spent the rest of the day with my family… went to the zoo and visited the lions and tigers, played in the new Tundra playground and had a quick drink…

when I walked into the bedroom one of the glass hearts in the window was glittering, which I haven’t seen before…

really a great day…

watched the rising sun peek out through the trees in the garden…

20140417-204002.jpglunch with a friend… we were celebrating our birthdays which are ten days apart… we talked and laughed and giggled our way through a really bad meal… it was wonderful to spend time together…

it seems hard to find the time to be with friends, as all of our lives are full…

tomorrow I am having lunch with my BS buddies… we are one birthday lunch behind so will be celebrating a January birthday and my April one…

was talking with someone a few days ago about how we often sign the card right at the table… one or another of us gets the attention of the birthday woman and they pretend not to notice what is happening…

we have a gift bag that has circulated for many, many years… it is always fun to figure out who has it, and where they might have put it, lol…

tonight I spotted more of the pond edging and last night the solar lights were glowing…

20140417-212301.jpgalso got to catch up by phone with another friend…

special moments… need to remember to celebrate them…

birthday one…

so, thirty four years ago today, our youngest daughter was born…

we made it to the hospital around nine in the morning and she was born just before noon…

George had just arrived at work when I called to tell him to come home… my parents were already on the way over…

George picked me up and we were headed to the hospital when he asked if we had time to stop for cigarettes…

by that time the contractions were between two and five minutes apart so I was feeling we really needed to get to the hospital…

we got there and it wasn’t too long until she was born…

the next day my tubes were tied and her sister came to see her… she wasn’t quite two and I remember she arrived in a cute dress and her black patent shoes… she was happy to meet her sister, but I was rather nervous of those shoes considering I had just had surgery…

we came home the following day… to this house that I still live in…

have enjoyed telling this story for many years, although it wasn’t so funny at the time, lol…

here she is on Sunday when we celebrated her birthday with barbecued steak and lobster and banana cream pie, which turned out to be frozen…

through the window you can see the snow storm…

it always amazes me how quickly the time flies by… one minute they are minutes old and the next they are in their thirties with a family of their own…

today its my birthday…

felt a little sorry for myself when I woke up at 5 this morning… after a short pity party I went back to sleep and at 6:15 felt more excited about the day…

had calls and singing from my kids and grandkids and lots of happy birthdays at the office… for our Souper Club a colleague made my favourite Thai soup and also picked up summer rolls… great group of people to enjoy a birthday lunch with…

a friend dropped by with a gorgeous cupcake, which I ate without taking one single picture, lol…

after work my daughter picked me up and we stopped at the mall and picked up a cute top for me with an orchid on it… then we headed to The Keg for dinner – steak and crab, very yummy… the place was nearly empty when we got there and the hostess couldn’t find a single booth for us to sit in as they were all reserved… when our wait person arrived and asked how we were I mentioned that I was disappointed that we weren’t in a booth… he checked and was able to find one (of the 20 or so that were empty) for us… the service and dinner were excellent and the wait person brought a piece of of Billy Miner pie to celebrate my birthday, which was much better than staff singing to you…

came home, had a nap, watched tv and talked with family across the country, shopped by phone with Cyndi and then spent some quality time in the hot tub…

I was looking at the stars and remembering how George could always spot the satellites going over… he had eagle eyes…  I don’t think I’ve seen a single one in the last year…

all day the tune today its my birthday has been running around in my head… I believe the new name for that is an ear worm… but I’m not sure I like that name, lol…

a beautiful potted plant that George bought me a few years ago...
