Random thoughts as I meander through various endeavors.

Catching up
Now that Deb's come and gone - I'll try to catch up a bit.
A mosaic table. Reclaimed & rescued with the help of free paint, some Liquid Nails and broken dishes and tiles. |
I finished the "Body Parts" yard art. The "shiny Man" joined the bust, butt and crotch on the back fence. |
We had a birthday party for my 99 year old Aunt Johnibel. |

My daughter, also my friend
We've all seen the T-shirts. posters and pillows with that sentiment on them. I am so happy and proud to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to DEB. She is indeed my friend and also my daughter.
We also share a love of "making stuff". Maybe art, maybe just a big mess! We laugh at nonsense. She is my muse, biggest fan (and I am hers), and my daughter and friend
Next week she is coming for a visit! And her prediction will come true - at least a bit. When she was little, maybe three years old, she would stomp her foot and say "When I'm the Mother and YOU are a little girl - - -" (fill in the blanks). So now she tells me to clean my room, comb my hair, etc. Just a glimpse of role reversal to come.
But - I musta' done something right to have such a fun and creative daughter. Some say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But I think this one came from across the orchard and found me.
See a glimpse of who she is on her blog.
We share a love of the beach |
Our traditional Mother's Day - our feet in the sand |

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE
One of my favorite pictures, taken by my daughter, a couple of years ago.
"Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be" (anon). Certainly at our ages - late 60's and 70's when we met - we were not spring chicks. And we both face the challenges of aging. But together we meet each change as it comes, and treasure each moment in a way we could not before.
So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACK. May you reach your goal to live to be 101 1/2years young, with me by your side.
