BAM - Happy Birthday Birdie!

Happy Birthday to Birdie who turned two on November 23! His favorite part of the birthday celebration? The musical card The Karate Kid gave him...he opened and shut in a hundred times to hear Alvin and the Chipmunks singing Funkytown. This Thanksgiving, RoRo and The Gardener are thankful the batteries on that card will be kaput within 24 hours. :-)



































Isi is often found doing this.












Little Boy, Big Gift!





What a difference two years makes!

BAM - November Birthdays!

Louise turned 95 this year! The Gardener and Gab hosted an open house at the nursing home with the tallest chocolate cake ever and juice. Many folks stopped by and new friends were made. Louise really wanted a poker party (she uses poker winnings to get her hair done) which The Gardener and Gab are organizing for some January fun.













Louise thought a long time about her birthday wish and due to TGA struggling with the camera Louise ended up with three birthday wishes, one for each time TGA and Gab made her blow the candles out. Her first wish was for a 96th birthday, the second was for money, she didn't share the third though TGA could take some guesses.

The Gardener's dear friend J shares a birthday with Weezie. Several years ago The Gardener and J started the tradition of birthday lunch at The Bristol on J's birthday....how blessed they are the tradition continues....another year to celebrate J and another year of friendship!

There's another special November birthday right around the corner....hint: TWEET TWEET!!!

BAM - Birds in the Backyard

The Gardener and The Golfer have enjoyed many beautiful birds in the back yard and garden this year; hummingbirds, a pair of yellow finches, and the cutest Birdie of all.....














As you can see, Birdie wasn't too sure about The Big Pool and that tear was fairly constant during his splash time. What a cutie!

BAM - The Big Move

The Gardener recently spent ten days in Texas helping Lady Rainbow with The Big Move. BONUS: time with The Mimis. Here's a great snapshot of The Mimis when The Gardener took them to Johnny Rockets for dinner.

BAM - The Kindle

The Golfer gifted The Gardener with a Kindle last Christmas. It is one of those electronic reader, device thingies that Oprah stated would be the next fabulous thing! As a kind of/sort of reader, TGA was honestly only luke warm but...oh how a few months can change things! How fabulous was it to go to Mexico with just one slim electronic gadget versus hauling 3 books on a plane? PERFECT!

The most recent read has been OPEN, Andre Agassi's autobiography and it's a MUST READ! Seriously, a perfectly beautiful Memorial Day weekend offered The Gardener extended time to 'do her thang' with a shovel, dirt and some flowers, but TGA could not put this book down. Andre is wide open in OPEN. Read it...it will be a life changer for you.
