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 from today....GOLDfinches are back, in smaller numbers. They make lots of noise coming n going and stay ALL day!! Quite entertaining for us. The other day I received an "evaluation critique" from 2 different people. At the moment, my feelings were slightly bruised! A few days have passed....I'm understanding in a more realistic, less emotional, fashion. My personal obsession is admitted. The retirement hobby of choice is my camera! Subjects include BIRDS, flowers, and trips. There have been days when I stayed outside ALL day, snappin n snappin.!! It's joyful fun for me. I'm turning over a "new leaf" with a more "normal" attitude. I'm re-training myself......snappin pics off/on within a day's time. LESS to post. The evaluation: If I see one bird I've seen them all....don't need to see the bird in several 'positions'....I'm done after seeing one. Too many are posted. Ok. I see things differently! ...
