A Tender Moment


My Mom being
serenaded by
my Dad.
They were
both 47
years young
at the time.
( I was 10.)

" I think it's a wall."

My children petting an elephant when we were in India.
(Our youngest daughter had not arrived yet,
she was born in Bangalore.) - So cute !

"You say it's your birthday."







Yes, today is my birthday. --So I thought I'd post some of my birthdays from the past.
1. The first one was when I was one year old. I'm holding a cake on my lap with one candle on it. (sorry the picture is faded--it was a long time ago. HA.)
2. Second picture is when I was nine years old. My sister Doreen, who was, and still is, seven years older than me, made the "birthday hat" I'm wearing. (she's sitting beside me.) My other sister, Marilyn, is sitting beside her, barely visible because of over exposure. That's my Dad eating the pickle with a fork.

3. 33rd birthday. My son Chris, who's now 30, is helping me blow out the candles. It's chocolate feather pudding with bananas on top (we were into "healthy" eating back then.) Hats made by the kids.

Thanks to all those who celebrated my many birthdays . The best "gifts" that I ever received, are my wonderful children, who are now exceptional adults. THANK YOU.
