MADE IT TO 82!!!!

Mark, Robin, ME, George, Dawn, Jeff

 Good morning on my 82nd Birthday,  Blog Friends.... Can you believe that I made it to age 82?????  Wow!!!   My mother lived 'til she was 91---so I'm hoping I'll live that long!!!

Life has been good --and I'm still hobbling along!! ha.... My family is the love of my life--and we were all together to celebrate on Saturday!!!  They are my JOY!!!

Today (on the 'official' day),   I'm being spoiled by my sweet hubby..  He made me some homemade bread for breakfast... YUM.    Then --he's taking me out to dinner tonight for some STEAK.... 

What a great Birthday I'm having.   I'm SO SO SO Blessed in so many ways.

Love to all of you and God's Blessings.

 Good Morning Blog Friends,   How are you?   George and I are still moving along even though we move much slower!!!  I had a bad fall on July 3--but even though the wounds are still with me,  I am doing much better now!!!!  My Neuropathy problems keep getting worse --and I keep forgetting (most the time)  to carry my cane with me when I'm in an un-level place in our yard!  Duh!

We are not traveling as much anymore --but we did have a wonderful 3 days at Pisgah Inn along the Blue Ridge Parkway in JUNE to celebrate our anniversary.  

We usually travel on my Birthday (August 5) ---but this year (instead of a trip),  I wanted a new sofa for our Living Room....  We love it!!  SO---Life is GOOD for us!!!  Hope all of you are doing fine!

Today I'll share some of our LILIES which bloomed on the deck this summer.   Hope you enjoy seeing them...  We've had a pretty good year with our flowers:  Daffodils, Irises, Day Lilies,  Lilies and Roses.  We used to have a lot more variety --but the deer (and our old age) has changed our thinking!!! HA!

Pearl Melanie Lilies

Rosella's Dream Lilies 

Golden Splendor Trumpet Lilies 

Frisco Lilies

Muscadet Lilies 

Garden Party Lilies

Stargazer Lilies

Dizzy Lilies

Do you have a favorite out of this group????  Every time a new one would bloom,  it was my favorite.  BUT--Stargazer this year was GORGEOUS.

Catch me up on your life... I miss you all!!!

Hugs,

BETSY
