Finally Some Flowers....

 Remember I have been talking about buying myself a bouquet of flowers. Well things work out don't they, I got all these flowers .  Oh yes, I had a birthday this week. Older than dirt, my birth certificate is in stone. :):)
  I got flowers from Ted and the girls.  Ted got this red rose with four yellow roses around it. That is to represent me and my four daughters.
  Kathy and her family got this purple/pink bouquet. So pretty.  I do not know what the berries are, as I have never seen them in floral displays.
 Lizzy and her family got this daisy bouquet in pink, yellow, white and lavender. This is a reusable watering can. How cute. Angie and Karen made cookies and cupcakes. Gave me dining certificates and gifts. I received cards, texts and calls, all day long. Had lunch with Liz and Angie joined us. Karen came after work and had dinner. I had the best day. I am thankful to my friends and family. 
   Today the sun is out and it is to be in the 30's. Hot dog, another pretty day. Hope all of you are safe and keeping warm. XO

      Nellie, My birthday arrives without me even thinking about it. My daughters always make it special, along with Teddy Bear. I have been smelling these flowers and enjoying them. Most flowers don't have a wonderful right out of the garden smell, as you know....but at least they are very pretty. We are in for a nice warm up tomorrow. I have to say today was nice, no wind, helps. Blessings to you for a great weekend, xoxo,Susie

      Missy, I don't get flowers often either. Just last year, I bought myself a store bouquet. They are cheaper than the florist shop. Cut flowers just do not last long. I just now watered them with some Sprite soda pop, cause I read where that kills bacteria and the sugar feeds the flowers...we shall see. LOL. Blessings for a nice day, the sun is out here. xoxo,Susie

    Oh Susie, Happy Birthday, and your flowers are beautiful. Flowers and perfume are my favorite gifts. In fact, I have had a motto my entire adult life. "I buy flowers, and if there is any money left over, I pay rent and buy groceries".... Well, I was never late on my rent, and never went hungry...but fresh flowers have been a part of my life. They make me happy.

      Wanda, I love your motto.It made me smile. I only want to buy my own perfume, don't you? I have rarely bought cut flowers for myself. So I am enjoying all of these. Blessings for a great weekend. xoxo,Susie

    Oh Susie, the bouquet of flowers that Ted bought is so special. A single red rose in the middle to represent YOU and the four yellow ones to represent your daughters. That is truly a nice bouquet. I would let them dry and save them forever.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR FRIEND!
