Ninety Years Loved

Song - Happy Birthday Swing by the Lucky Seven

Two weeks ago I was at home and knee deep in flowers and loving every minute of it!

Even though today is my mom's true birthday, 

we had a little party for her two weeks ago to celebrate.

We celebrated at Il Fornaio in downtown Walnut Creek

 and the space turned out to work perfectly for us.  

It was a cold and rainy day but we had a room full of windows and happy guests.

Fifty-two of them to be exact because as you can see Betty is well loved!

Children were cuddled....

 ......flowers brightened the room......

....and cake was devoured!

A Very Happy 90th to you Mom!

Just Thirty-five Years Ago Today

Song - Happy Birthday Swing by the Lucky Seven

My oldest son Andy turns 35 today............wasn't it just last week that he was blowing out the candles on his second birthday cake?

Andy has always been a hard worker.  Here he is helping me dig and water in the vegetable garden.

 And happily helping his dad build something with a large piece of lumber!

Andy has always enjoyed fishing............except that when he was younger he wasn't to keen on touching them!!!

Andy loves to cook..............

.....and always makes us a heartfelt meal!

 He is my barefoot entrepreneur.....

 As well as a kind older brother!

 Andy has always been athletic whether it is golf, swimming, hiking, baseball or water polo.

And a loyal Giants fan.........

He is handsome and funny............

And he has always been a ladies man..............

I'm not Joking.............................

Until he met Ashley.......

Now he only has eyes for her!

And occasionally his mama....

Thank you Andy for being a kind, loving man who is fun to be near.

I am so happy that you are in our lives!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

He's funny....

And he makes friends where ever he goes.....

Mr. B is the one on the right...

He's a hard worker and goes into the office regularly!

He is also very humble and rarely knows more than anyone else!

He likes to sing....

....dance.....

.....play guitar......

...talk.....

 ....flyfish.....

...take me to concerts....

...and throw parties!

So glad he wandered into my life...
