Spirited and Lively Older Women Thread

Ginger - we lived in Olympia for over twenty years - My husband much longer - he grew up there.  One of the things I miss most here at the beach is the flowers.  We had a glorious hydrangea, planted when the house was built just before WWll.  I grew up in eastern WA.  When I was in the seventh grade we had a late snow the week after Easter.  That weekend we came over to Olympia.  When I saw the Capitol campus with all the fantastic spring flowers from the top of the capitol dome I vowed I would one day live there.  The month I graduated from College I moved to the area.

We don't have flowers blooming here yet. My granddaughter (18 months) knows the word "flower" and optimistically points to last year's brown and done cone flowers and such like saying "flower". Once things really start to bloom, I think she may explode with joy. I certainly will be happy.

Barbara, love your pic and the cake and it looks like I'm going to want to be around to get a better view of the waiters.  Sorry about your Gators.

Good morning all! 

Happy Birthday Suz!  I am ready for the cake, bring the waiters on!  Anybody else ready to party?

Barb - I could not get the link to work.  I check on your page. 

GreenFlash is awesome! Thanks for sharing you DH's band with us.  They are really good.

Marybe - Hope you didn't sink a lot of $ into lottery tickets after your prediction of wins by Fla and Az! I and my daughters went to ASU, so I wasn't really rooting for the Wild Cats, bit it would have been nice for Tucson. Oh well - next year!

DD's birthday last night with a marble cake with custard filling with Oreos crunched up in it and Oreos on top - yum! Plus dinner at a brewery with wonderful Hefeweizen - need to take a LONG walk today!

Edited to add: Green Flash is a GREAT name for a band! I always look for it at the beach - whether or not I see it depends on how long the sunset happy hour has been

Suzie, Happy Birthday!  I hope your day was wonderful.

I guess I've found another board to belong to.  I'm well qualified at 65 although I still feel 25.  My spirit and liveliness may very well depend on the day, but I'll do my best to keep up.  I find a margarita the best medicine for all my ills so this could be the right group for me!

I want one too.

However it is too early in the day to drink here ( I would sleep all afternoon) so will wait until a bit later to indulge.

What?! There is NO food in my cheeks! Would I lie? 

My 7 mo old DGD

Ginger ~ She is adorable!!

Suzie ~ Hope you had a spectacular birthday!

dianaleo ~ I'm with you, a margarita is the best medicine!

I always look forward to Lisa'a photos. FLowers make any day a better day.

Finally found you guys.  Happy birthday to everybody that is having one.  Hope everyone is feeling well.   Darla
