Happy Birthday, Thom!!! Pfffftt!

To my good friend, Thom, whom I happen to know hates birthdays -- although he's very good at celebrating other peoples! Besides, when you get to be as old as I am believe me, you're grateful you're still around to celebrate one! So, I'm thumbing my nose at him and celebrating his birthday anyway!! Hey, that's what friends are for!!!



This is for you, Thom! You WON'T see cutesy little smiley faces on this post,
just the stone cold truth of how I feel about friendship.
1. When you are sad, I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!
2. When you are blue, I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.
3. When you smile, I will know you are plotting something that I
must be involved in.
4. When you're scared, we will high tail it out of here.
5. When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories about how
much worse it could be until you quit whining, ya big baby!!!!
6. When you are confused, I will use little words.
7. When you are sick, Stay away from me until you are well again
because I don't want whatever it is that you have!
8. When you fall, I'll pick you up and dust you off--After I laugh!!!
9. This is my oath...I pledge it to the end.

'Why?' you may ask;-- because you're my great friend, of course!!

And while you're a long way from us old AARP'ers, this is the eye chart to look forward to when you have your eyes checked for those new glasses!



Are you squinting yet!! Woot!

A Great Visit!

As some of you know Susan and Thom were both here in Seattle last week. I had hoped to be able to spend more time with them and Quilly, but there was one problem after another where transportation was concerned. We did, however, get to spend some time together at my house. Susan's daughter, D, got a great shot of the three of us and Sam Schnauzer and I wanted to share that with you! It was so great to finally meet Susan and her kids and to see Thom again! Hope we can do it again one of these days!
