HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE AND ME

Wishing my granddaughter, Katie,
a very happy birthday. Twenty four
years old. She and I used to celebrate
our birthdays together when she was
a youngster. I am celebrating my
birthday also I am 76 years old. I am
going to enjoy every year the good Lord
sees fit to let me have.

BEAUTIFUL DAY HERE IN CENTRAL ALABAMA

I just could not resist taking some pictures of
some of the flowering bushes around the house
when I went out to enjoy the beautiful day we
had here today. This is just one of my azalea
bushes that are in bloom or that have buds
ready to bloom any day now. My husband
even got out and enjoyed sitting in the swing.
He is feeling some better, the doctor is letting
him rest for 3 weeks before he starts chemo
treatments again.

Another bush, not sure of the name of it and
in the background another azalea bush.

Pink thrift and another azalea bush. Some

of my St. Patrick's Day decorations. Click

of the flowers.

HUSBAND HOME FROM HOSPITAL

My husband, Karl, is home from the
hospital. He seem to be doing quite
well. He and I are both glad that he
is home back in his own bed, no nurses
taking blood then giving him blood. He
does have a lot of medicine he has to take
but that is no big thing. I want to thank
all my blogging friends for their prayers.

WELCOME MONTH OF MARCH

"The March wind roars like a lion in the sky,
and makes us shiver as he passes by.
When winds are soft, and the days are warm
and clear, just like a gentle lamb, then spring
is here."

HAPPY LEAP YEAR

Today is February 29, 2012. Hope
your leap day is a blessed one.

CONGRATULATIONS ADAM

My grandson, Adam, who is a sophomore
in high school took the ACT test a couple
of weeks ago. He found out today that
he scored a 33. I am so proud of him.
He says he wants to take it again next year
to see if he can do better.

HAPPY PRESIDENT'S DAY

In my life time we have had some good
presidents and some not so good. I do
have a favorite, Ronald Reagan. When
it is time to vote for president again I
hope all will study the person and his
intentions for this country before they
mark their ballot. God Bless America

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYCE

Wishing my youngest
grandson, Bryce, a very
happy 6th birthday. Hope
your day is filled with lots
of fun and surprises. Love you.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Wishing everyone a very happy
and blessed Valentine's Day.

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY

I am hoping spring is just around
the corner.

WELCOME THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY

"Freezing cold winds, biting chills,
and white snow fluffed hills. Valentines
day, oh how gay! President's day is
coming our way. February, sweet and
small, greatest month of all."

DAUGHTERS AND SONS

A daughter is the happy memories of the
past, the joyful moments of the present,
and the hope and promise of the future.

Your son at five is your master, at ten your
slave, at fifteen your double, and after that,
your friend or your foe, depending on his
bringing up.

I am very proud of my four children Debra,
Kenneth, Deann and Kara. They all are married
and have been blessed with wonderful families.
I pray every night that God will continue to
bless them and keep them safe. I want them
to know that I may have made mistakes while
bringing them up but in spite of that they all
have made me proud of them and what they
have accomplished.

SETTING SUN IN WINTER

I am not the best picture taker. This is one I
took with the sun going down. It was a lot
prettier than this picture shows. Since I have
gotten older I appreciate every sunrise and
sunset the good Lord allows me to see.

FORSYTHIA BUSH AND WILD PERIWINKLE

I know it is winter time, but my forsythia bush
believes it is spring time. The cold weather we
have had down into the 20's have not killed
these few blooms. The last few days it has warmed
up in the 60's during the day, so these few blooms
gave me a taste of spring.

Another sweet little spring time flower
is blooming also among the leaves,
my wild periwinkle has a few blooms on
them. Just a little touch of spring in
the winter time has brought a smile to
my face.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year Wish

My Happy New Year wish for you is for your
best year yet, a year where life is peaceful, and
what you want, you get.

A year in which you cherish the past year's
memories, and live your life each new day,
full of bright expectancies.

I wish for you a holiday with happiness galore;
and when it's done, I wish you Happy New Year,
and many more.
