Birthdays

September is a month of numerous birthdays in my family.  Mike's birthday was in September.  My mother's birthday was in September.  A niece, a nephew, a step grand daughter, and a grand nephew (great nephew??) all have birthdays in September.  I have not been so great about getting cards out in honor of the various celebrations, but I did manage to make a couple.
One for my baby sister.

One for her youngest.

60 and 30.

    Wonderful birthday cards!

    Help me nail down that great-/grand- issue, will you, please? I think I prefer "grand," since I'll never be a grandmother.

    You do really nice work. Those are keeper cards and mean so much more than the card company supply.

    The mention of keeping cards...I found a hanging file in Mike's file cabinet that was marked "O" and in it were all the cards and little notes I had given him over the years. I had assumed he just tossed them, never knew he had the sentimental streak. He still surprises me.

      Wow that is really a neat find. Mike was a romantic as well as an excellent motorcycle mechanic!

      You do make very lovely cards.

    You're all getting older together, which is kinda nice actually. And I agree, the cards are really pretty!

    Beautiful cards! What machine do you have -- Cricut? I'm looking for a good, inexpensive one. My birthday, my mother's, and my nephew's are all in September. Great people were born in that month. [wink-wink!]

    I think the family members you didn't get to will forgive you this one time.

    Those cards are beautiful. I've always admired those with paper-crafting skills. I typically just write all over it, not make it pretty.

    These are so neat. You are so talented. I'm sure those who received one of these will treasure them. This month must be hard for you. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
