I sense you have reached the age of wisdom and decorum and from now on will expect nothing less whenever I come to visit, haha<br />Those dog biscuits are by far the best, certainly the most cute I have ever seen.<br /><br />I also love how you have shared more snippets of your personality and notice we have another trait in common, I too do better in smaller groups. It's the quality not the quantity that matters, duh <br /><br />so again I wish you well for your real birthday tomorrow and hope it'll be a good one as well as a fine year ahead, filled with laughter tears walks stitching cloth dogs husband sleep sun snow life and love<br /><br />btw my parents lived according to the same rule.Saskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974723368542754165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891893665236545238.post-19629422747138396042014-11-11T11:23:02.653-05:002014-11-11T11:23:02.653-05:00first comment...are those Boxer CRUELLERS?????????...first comment...are those Boxer CRUELLERS???????????<br />did you MAKE them?????????????????????grace Forrest~Maestashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853978388902544613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3891893665236545238.post-54551466848158010372014-11-11T01:50:33.966-05:002014-11-11T01:50:33.966-05:00What a pretty table with such delightful personal ...What a pretty table with such delightful personal touches!

A lovely gathering you had and to have your parents present at your 60th, well, it moved me so and is so heart filled special.<br /><br />May Wed be filled with love, joy and laughter and the wearing of something red. I would have added wisdom but you've got that as well as a great heart and while I don't have a gift to send, let me please tell you what a gift it has been to come here and share your words, thoughts, wit, hilarity, seriousness, seeking questions, traveling spirit, in other words THANK YOU for being who you are.. <br /><br />Something about decade birthdays, to me, they merit celebrations: As I approach each decade, 3 yrs away from my next one, (my 70th), I think of something that I read in one of the notes from Clarissa Pinkola Estes book, Women Who Run With the Wolves. See I just got back from leaving a comment on grace's blog so I've been in the Wolves world and maybe because I now live in New Mexico but Estes had some words that wrapped around me as I thought of going along, year after year. She had this to say about the many selves in our psyches: <br /><br />"Like the pueblos and casitas in New Mexico, the psyche is always in at least three stages- the old fallen down part,the part you live in, and the part under construction."<br /><br />Some at 60, may have completed their construction, but others of us, still deal with it all, moving forward, backward, asking questions and realizing that it is all part of becoming who we are and the joy in the discovery. Wherever you are in this, I celebrate you and Happy Birthday. <br /><br /><br /><br />Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305881181604750937noreply@blogger.com
