Still Celebrating My Birthday

On Friday, my best friend since infancy, Patty came up to continue my birthday SEASON.
We celebrate together every year for 71 years now...
Patty always comes loaded down with gifts...
 I drew and painted this vase of beautiful flowers she brought me! I had never seen sunflowers this orange! Or leaves this purple before! Such beauty.
Thank you Patty!!!

I am wearing a necklace Patty made for me and a bracelet she gave me engraved with "Friends Forever" on it...but that basket contained still more gifts (the beautiful basket itself for my art supplies she said, another really pretty bracelet of beads of all shapes and colors (see in second to last photo); and a gorgeous pair of long dangly earrings! My style!

We went to Fenton's for lunch...and DESSERT!!!!


It is so decadent. But so delicious too. We love hot fudge sundaes with coffee ice cream! Num!!!

Thank you Patty...I plan for us to still be doing this at 81, 91 and 101...Love you dear friend!!!! XOXOX

 
Happy Birthday To Me for another year!
Nothing better than very best friends forever!

  3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LYNN! Gosh...I have now known you long enough to remember Patty and your annual celebration. Friends like this are better than presents! (Although Patty gives great ones!) Love the necklace (so YOU) and the basket full of goodies. Those Sunflowers are breathtaking! I have NEVER seen them in this colour....although I did see some dark red ones once in Taos... The Ice Cream Sundaes.....Mon Dieu!!!! (But delicious looking...)

    I can't believe your age..... really...you don't look it at all. Your are a testament to what my dear Mum always said: "Age is in your ♥....and how you live is reflected in your body and face"!

    One more Happy Birthday Hug!!!

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥
