Happy Birthday, Deanna!


The picture tonight is sweet Elena. She reminds me so much of when her mother was her age; I called her Blondie Fluff and it's hard not to call Elena that sometimes. I took this picture when we were there last month.

It was cold (20's!) this morning, but it got up to 67 and we had a great walk. It was good to get out and get the fresh air, as well as the exercise. Cooped up in the house is not a thing I enjoy, unless I'm working on a jigsaw puzzle or reading a book, and I'm not doing either right now.

I did some laundry today and some more work on the taxes. I'm also packing away some things for the trip to Hawaii, so that it won't be such a big deal to pack in 3 weeks. I'm also making my Thanksgiving meals shopping list.

Today is our niece, Deanna's birthday. She has 3 tremendous boys and a wonderful husband and she's all healed from her gal bladder surgery 2 weeks ago; she's pretty amazing and sings like a pro. I wish we lived next door, but wishing gets us nowhere; it's fun to dream. We used to live pretty close when her oldest was born and we sure loved seeing him lots! I thank God for treasured family and precious memories of times we get to enjoy!
