Happy Birthday

Spring has brought blooms for my Birthday!! How wonderful after all of my complaining about the long winter. This past week a group of school retirees and some of those dedicated saints still teaching, were summoned together by another soon to be retired teacher. The purpose of the gathering was to celebrate a birthday of our beloved ex-principle. Unfortunately, he has had some health problems and that puts a real damper on spirits, especially to one who seemed invincible at one time. It was wonderful to see old faces again and catch up on things and hopefully we did bring a little sunshine into the life of the birthday boy. Thank you Patsy!! Mr O's birthday and my birthday are a day apart and we are the same age. Enough said!!

Below is another glimpse of my backyard now that some of the plants are beginning to emerge from their winter naps. Again, I apologize for the poor photography. Not my forte.



We took the dogs to the lake for some exercise this afternoon and take advantage of the beautiful weather. They got booster shots this week and weighed. Winter took a toll. The beagle is nearly obese and the border collie is a little chubby also. However, she will slim down as she loves to chase the ball in the lake.

The Mr. is taking me for a birthday dinner this evening so will make this short. Everyone have a good weekend!
