Thank you so much, Leslie and Westelle!! What a wonderful gift to find your messages on here this nice, cool morning! :))))) Leslie, how did you KNOW that's my favorite rose of all time?! My mom has it at her house, and she calls it my rose. :) I LOVE the scent as well as that gorgeous color! Wow, the sunrise this morning is incredible. A perfect day to turn 40. LOL Brenda

Eduarda ~ Thank you for your wishes across many watery miles. How close the net makes us all feel. DH and I loved Spain, when we lived there for a little over 3 years while he did his duty for the US Navy. We really enjoyed and have good memories of our visit to Lisbon via our VW Bus. I have a beautiful vase (to me) bought there on Valentine's day early 70's. Your pictures of your home in Portugal always make me feel homesick for our home in Spain as newlyweds. Hi there Patti ~ Thank you and yes I had a nice day with DH and my pruners. Memo ~ Thank you. It was really a thoughtful gift and I appreciate that. I enjoyed using those pruners. We had a nice day together. Thank you Cameron. It it a full moon out there but not that we can see. We just went out and there are clouds and sprinkles. I did look at the moon last night and told DH it would be full tonight. Too bad we don't get to see it. Thank you all for your love, hugs and best wishes. They mean a lot to this lady down here in the tropics trying to grow tropical cottage gardens. You are family to me. FlowerLady

Did anyone bring you flowers for your birthday? Just wondering...I never get any! Hope the day was happy and you have a great year. Wishing you peace and energy for those late nights of flower work in summer's heat!

I noticed it wasn't on our daily birthday list here. Is it on your profile so we won't miss it next time? It is listed on the KT gathering place, I guess we forgot to look there. Here is a link that might be useful: Our Special Days
