My 1st birthday Parteeee! I had waited a while for this one! No adjectives seem appropriate, to convey my A.Ma.Zing day. ALL the Kudos go to Donnie&Pam -the arrangements, (held in their beautiful home), deco, food & #1 Surprise of it all.!! {TY also to the SONS, for contributing $ to the party; Ronda, Vickie & Sue --for Food they brought. I had asked NO presents --just the PRESENCE, of my Family & Friends.....that fell thru! Gifts were ALL wonderful, cards so Sweet. {Sadly, a few out-of-town FRIENDS, weren't able to make the party. They were All on my mind & in my heart, tho.} 2 even mailed gifts!! TY to Betty & Charlene. Pam's deco was to the moon! So Beautiful, & my special SUNFLOWER theme.{Sunflower "love" began w/EVONNE --after she made me a Decoupage plate w/Sunflowers. Still hangs in my kitchen.} There were SUNFLOWERS, Everywhere! {even in the bathroom! So cute.} The cake....w/Cupcakes.... It was a ME day! Pictures w/Family...
We are so very Blessed to have ARIEL. She has been the sweetest, funny, loving, Ornary lil companion!...and quite Stubborn sometimes! The terrible 2s DID apply to her! Lamar called her the Peke frm hell, during that time.!! She chewed on Everything! and pitched awesome "fits" when I had to leave. Ariel has been diagnosed w/Heart Murmur...we know every day, is a Blessing, having her w/us. She sleeps a lot! and gets meds Every day --Lasix & Heart med. Hoping she'll be around a while yet {can't think on the alternative} Pics are of ARIEL ~ as she's aged and became this Senior Sweetie! BABY girl.... a few ... sleepin... ARIEL is a doll ~ playin, sleepin, just BEING herself. These pics run 2010 - 2016. Lookin good w/full hair&clipped. I have soooooooo many!! Will stop w/these. ARIEL is FAMILY ~ and we LOVE her very much. HAPPY 14th Birthday - our sweet Baby Girl.
This ^, is where our 38yr. Friendship began...1981, Kennesaw College Campus Security. We became BFFs, SISTA/Friends, she was an Awesome Mentor, and stepped in--as "Mother" figure, when my Mama passed into Heaven. I began to take Maxine on trips ~ for her birthday ~ each year. Cabins by the water, & 1 trip w/HOTtub on deck!! made her Smile! 3x Gibbs Gardens (she loved the Flowers); Blairsville (Brass Town Bald); Dahlonega(Vogel State Park); Maggie Valley (hit ALL the shops @ Cherokee!!); Lake Guntersville (a FAV for her). We made 2 trips to Panama City (to visit Norah~a Dear friend). Couple of trips to Michigan. So. We Loved to go "trippin" together!! We laughed, ate well and just Relaxed on these trips. As years progressed....we began chatting EVERY day.!! We talked Family, grand kids, discussed our day with each other, and...tried to solve a few World problems!!!..LOL {I really MISS those calls & time chatting w/Maxine} IF there is such ~ Maxine, I ...
