HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

I hope you all have a lovely day. It is rather special for us as my husband (Bob aka Pat)and I

met 55 years ago tomorrow -- knew each other for 3 days -- decided to get married - shortly after I flew down to Camp Borden, Ontario where he was stationed

(Army) and 3 days later we were married. Needless to say, no one thought

we had a chance but it has gotten better every year.

I am so fortunate to have him - he is my best friend, my constant supporter and the love of my life!

I doubt if I would have made it through the past year without him being there

for me constantly -- He has 'loved' every art work I have ever done - and

I do so appreciate it. Shirley

My little artist

Hayley spent 3 hours painting a wonderful ceramic horse. She amazed me as

she decided to use the primary colors and mix her own. I was surprised she knew how! She is very focused and ended up with a very pretty horse.

She is so focused for a 6 year old and is showing a lot of talent. (not that I

am prejudiced!) I think we have an artist here - grin.

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY!

I hope you are all 'wearing the green' today. I am thinking of my friends in
the park in Mesa ,Arizona where we spent our winters for 8 years. Every St. Patrick's day we had a party around the pool. We had an Irish band, dancers and green beer! Everyone in the park came and what fun we had. Here is a picture of us at one of the pool parties.
So much fun with so many winter friends. I miss them.

We knew the winter was ending and soon we would be heading north. I have so
many happy memories of St. Patricks day - I wish we could surprise our friends and drop in today! Shirley
