A Happy Birthday

 

Today was another birthday for me.  The years seem to be going by so fast these days …

I’ve had an awesome day and The Family took me out to lunch at The Helm Bar & Kitchen.  I had seafood chowder with toasted ciabatta and it was delicious.




Eldest son got me to pose for a photo (shudder!) but says I am a Big Girl now and need to get over my hatred of having my photo taken!




Yesterday was a very productive day.  I spent three solid hours cleaning the inside of my car, and you should see it now – it positively sparkles!

Son and I have also started giving the garden its winter-preparation cleanup.  Lots of weed piles (his job) and new flowers in the hanging baskets (my job).

Stay happy and keep smiling 😊

Margaret.

  3. Happy birthday, you look devine, but I'm with you, I hate having my photo taken. Strangely hubby has just booked a guy to come to the house and clean our car inside and out, we have family here over Easter so we thought it was best to get it done.

  4. Happy Birthday Margaret, how lovely to see such a delightful photo of you - your oldest son sounds like my son - he would make that sort of comment :) I love a good seafood chowder, and that looks a wonderful one

  6. Happy birthday, Margaret. Like you, I am not a huge fan of having my picture taken. On some blogs it seems to be an exercise in narcissism and people seem to be driven to post more and more pictures of themselves. It's not what I visit a blog for to tell you the truth.

  14. Happy Birthday! We seem to be going to a lot of funerals lately of cousins and friends. I am realizing that the kids want to take photos of us because they are starting to wonder if our turn is coming up. They will need a few nice photos to display at the funeral and to remember us by.

  20. Well a late HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I love your birthday picture! It's so good with your pretty smile and those red roses. My family fusses at me for not smiling and looking at the camera for pictures. I get all embarrassed...at my age!! Your birthday lunch looks so delicious!
