Birthday

 Birthday Bouquet


 

Birthday cards ( by mail. More to come from family no doubt). 


 

Yes, it's my birthday. I am having a hard time believing I'm 80 years old.

Unfortunately grandson M has come down with Covid. He's been sick for about 3 days and now his Dad ( #2 son) is also sick. Luckily our get together will be outside ( on Sunday afternoon) and the ones who are not well can stay far away from the rest of us. Hopefully no one else succumbs.

Thanks for visiting. 

 

HappyK : Yes, that teapot is Memory Lane by Royal Albert. 

 

I couldn't resist this Pinterest pin...

  1. Welcome to the 80's club. Yes, 80 is old, but only as old as you let it be. I'm working on it now at 81.
    Happy Birthday!

      Meine liebe Tante Ingrid sagte einmal, als sie etwa 90 war:
      „Ich kann die schweren Gießkannen nicht mehr tragen. Ich bin doch nicht 80!!!!! !!“

      💖💝❣️💟💗💚♥️❤️🩵🧡🤍💜💙💛

      Der Blumenstrauß ist wunderschön. Genau DAS BIST DU!

  12. Happy Birthday, Dear Child of God!
    Was that a card you actually received, with the verse from Joshua? Whether or no, it is an idea I'd like to use for a card sometime -- haha! But -- May YOU stay Forever Young!

  24. Yay!!! 80 is beautiful (says me at 48 LOL). God bless you and keep you all of your days! I love that verse from Joshua, so much humour in it, in how you placed it. That is a beautiful vase of flowers! I hope the COVID disappears soon and leaves no lasting impact... God bless!
