A May birthday


This month is going by quickly.  The Memorial
weekend will soon be here.  Do you have 
special plans?  We will be celebrating a
special birthday.  Our wonderful daughter will
be celebrating 40 big ones.  


How can that be?  It doesn't seem like it
 was that long ago that we were teaching her
 to drive or attending her graduation from
 high school, then college.


She went through a rough patch in her life when
her 13 year marriage to her high school sweetheart
didn't work out.  But, that's behind her now and
she's doing great.  She has a good job and good
friends and, most importantly, a good heart.
We love her so much.
 
 Happy Birthday, Kim!!
 
If I don't see my blogging friends before next week,
 have a wonderful weekend!
 
Until next time...

  5. And Re: your comment in my blog, about yard work. I hear you, on the things which husband says we'll do, and they don't (get done). Your daughter is gonna' be 40. So I figure roughly that you guys are something around 60.

    Eeeeek! Bad times for a man to give up the I-can-do-it-all attitude. I wish you luck. ,-) And certainly don't let him run up in trees, wielding a chain saw!! NO! "Auntie" sezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

    Thankfully here, by now (we are 75 and 78 and thus *olden*), he has finally learned to go along with the fact that there are things which he can not do, anymore. Without it being such a hard thing doe him to do, that is. -grin-

    No one wants to get older, but here and there, there actually are perks, to it. :-)))))))))

    Lotsa' hugs...

  6. Happy 40th to your daughter. I didn't think you were much older than that. I have 4 daughters all in their 40's. Where do the years go?

  9. Hi Cheryl, Happy Birthday to Kim... My youngest (Jeff) just turned 41 on May 14..

    As parents, we want our kids to be happy... Glad Kim is doing so well now.. My son Jeff has finally found happiness after some rough patches... SO--I know how you feel...

    Isn't it odd how we expect to age ourselves but are shocked when our family does.

    We are heading out of town to go back home to where I was born to decorate the graves for my parents and grandparents. I will get to see a few relatives and friends, I hope.

  28. Hi Cheryl!

    Happy Birthday Kim, I hope it is perfect!! I agree with Shug, how does this happen - I have a daughter who is almost 40, and she should be 14 instead . . . well, maybe not 14. . . ;0) Time does seem to fly by so quickly! Have fun celebrating!

    Have a fun and safe week-end!

    Hugs,

    I'm with you about how quickly time has passed. My oldest is going on 39. It just isn't possible!

    No plans this weekend and that is just the way I like it!
