GOT A MINUTE OR TWO

We had a wonderful Birthday Party for Elizabeth today to celebrate being 98 years young. The care givers where Elizabeth lives presented her with a special bakery cake called Extreme Mocca and it was extremely rich and delicious. You are never to old to love opening presents. A new warm and cozy pair of pajamas. She is such a special woman in my life, and I am so glad I met the "Bird Lady" 7 years ago.  For my new readers, she lived at the end of the street where we lived before moving to Villa Ramona.  She loved to feed the birds and flocks of them came morning and night to her gate.  We visited over the fence many time.  Then she fell and could not live alone so she move to the Nursing Home where I've visited her often and she feels like a mom to me, and she had two sons so is glad to have a woman to visit with.  We truly love each other. This is Sylvia (the songbird)  She breaks out in songs about every 5 minutes. ...

  I have one sister, Donna.  She's my big sister, by 6 years and the sweetest person you will ever meet.  All my children love her as a favorite Aunt, as she NEVER forgets a birthday, anniversary or special event in any of our family members.  I think we are about 6 and 12 in this picture.  Donna came up this summer and spent several days.  While she was here the family got together at The Cheesecake Factory so everyone could love on her.  This is how we look now.  We've both got our gray, but age has not changed that we totally love being together, laughing, and visiting Thrift Shops.  Donna, you're the best!    Happy Birthday dear Donna.  I love you tons, and wanted to dedicate my blog to you on this special day.  How about that...it even fell on a Holiday!!!
