Birthday and More

It just dawned on me that I have not shared any pictures of my birthday celebration.Well,before it is too far in the past I will do just that.

My sister Becky,friends Marge and Alvera and I went to A Rocha for a birthday lunch.Of course we had to pose for a picture.From left to right are: Marge,Ruth,Alvera and Becky

Below is a picture of the current directors at A Rocha,Nick and Susan,together with the birthday girl.Notice on both the first and second picture the scenery over our shoulders.

 Susan had prepared a super delicious lunch of vegetable soup,fresh homemade bread,cheese and two kinds of sandwich fillings.For dessert she served Chocolate Bundt Cake with chocolate sauce,whipped cream and blueberries, Yummy!

Here we are at the dining room table,enjoying sweet fellowship.

This is the scene we saw as we looked out of the window.Now, that would make any food taste extra good.This is overlooking the Pembina Valley.Of course just outside the window we could hear a chorus of bird song. It was wonderful.

Walking around the yard,after that delicious lunch, I spotted this Yellow-tiger Swallowtail Butterfly.He gave me many opportunities to get pictures.What fun!

I have to add just one more picture of the clouds the other day.

I love those sunbeams pointing to the sky.

Thought for today:

Count not your years by adding the days…

But with joy count the friends you've made along the way.

When I count my friends,I am rich indeed.
