BIRTHDAY PRESSIE FROM MY SIS AND SPRING FLOWERS

HELLO EVERYONE,

Even though there was a Snow Blizzard on my birthday  that delayed Our Plans I still received a Very Special call from our local florist saying I have a Spring Bouquet that someone wants you to have today.  I can not tell you how this brought a Big Smile to My Face. 

I received Many Lovely Birthday Wishes via emails, cards, phone calls and even this Lovely Spring Bouquet from My Son and his family.

My Granddaughter Chloe who is Only 7 Years Old called me up and sang me Happy Birthday Grandma and at the end said, I LOVE YOU!! I am still smiling and I will never forgot how she made me feel so very loved. 

 

My SIS Lyn was not born into my family as my sister.  We met on the Internet back in 1997 through The Southern Cross Quilters.  We instantly became Kindred Spirits and began sharing our lives daily.

 Shortly there after We decided to say we were SIS and it has been 16 Wonderful and Most Lovely Years of having Lyn for MY SIS.

  Back in 2000 Lyn made a Long Journey from Melbourne Australia to  come and visit me so she could share My 50th Birthday with me. 

Lyn stayed 3 months and we celebrated everyday together and we shared some most wonderful adventures...

At the time I was working on the Naval Base in Norfolk Virginia so we were close to many wonderful places to visit. 

Below we are visiting a Quilt Show in North Carolina in the Spring.  I am sorry for the poor photos but back then I did not have a fancy camera.  vbg 

  

It was a glorious Day with the Daffodils blooming and the sky was such a Brilliant and beautiful shade of Blue.

My SIS is in the blue jeans and Me in the yellow outfit.

Yesterday I received a very large box in the Mail from My SIS...which of course put a big smile on my face. 

 My Pressie flew thousands and thousands of miles to bring me a smile and good wishes.

After opening My Pressies I found the most beautiful boxes with a picture of a Peony on them. The Peony is My Most favorite Flower.

 They came from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne. The are in My Most Favorite Colors of shades of Wine and Pink.

I was very very excited to open them.

I also received this wonderful book.  It is not only a cook book but a beautiful treasury chronicles of the daily lives of the Amish with very lovely photos. I love it.

Back to My Lovely Botanical Plate.  It looks so very exquisite and real I feel like I could really touch its fragile petals.

The Botanical Peony Mug also came too.

I can just see Myself Drinking a Pomegranate Strawberry Tea from My Mug and eating a lovely cake off the plate. 

  I wish Lyn was here to have Tea with ME. I also received the most lovely birthday card.

Below is another photo of Me in white and Lyn with Blue Jeans  at Patriot Park in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.  

During those 3 months which passed very quickly we visited many places in the surrounding states and had some really great adventures we will never forget.  

Truly Wonderful Memories. 

Thanks you Lyn for the Very Lovely Birthday Gifts I will treasure them always.

 And Most Important for being My SIS for all this years.

Hugs Judy
