Another gift of time

A couple weeks ago we celebrated with Reymonde , her 86th birthday. In a parish room next to the church, after choir practice, we helped her blow out the candles and shared the cake.
Reymonde and her husband are French "snowbirds".
They spend 6 months of the year in sunny Agadir, to escape the caprices of France's winter weather. Reymonde loves to sing and is a delightful addition to our little group. In spite of her many years and health problems she's always present and always wearing her big smile.
Happy Birthday, Reymonde!

This week of February is SUPER BIRTHDAY WEEK.
Three dear friends and yours truly will be celebrating their special days in a four day suite: the 5th ,6th-7th- and 8th.
I've chosen to write in purple, NOT because I'm in morning but because it's the color of our lovely birthstone the amethyst.
My wish for us this year and always are in the words of a thirteen-century English mystique, Dame Julian of Norwich:
"All shall be well,
And All shall be well,
And all manner of things shall be well."


The song says, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold!!"" Isn't it so true.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO You,

My Golden Friends !!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY To US!!!!!!
